Sand flows between my toes,
wind crunches through my hair,
air rattles and rumbles as the
clouds break against the sky.
Birds cackle, running to safety,
people fly for cover when
droplets of water hit their face.
Waves crisscross each other in circles.

I walk out from the cover
smiling as the water hits my
skin, enjoying the comfort it provides.
Hair swirls around my face as I 
approach the ocean.
Shedding clothing while I walk, I
dip my feet into the salt, reveling in the
feel of wetness on my body.

The waves crash over me
pulling me deeper into the water,
farther and farther from the land.
Willingly, I go
away from the buildings,
away from the people,
away from civilization...
Where I can die in peace.
