A Glorious View Poem by Emily Krauss

I sit on the beach
My toes are surrounded by sand
My hand holds a steaming cup of hot chocolate
And around my shoulders is a cozy and warm blanket

My eyes
Drift up high
Towards the sky

The sky is getting dark
As a beautiful sunset begins to form
And in my mind I imagine
Heavenly Father painting the sunset in the sky
For all of his earthy children to admire

Beyond the beauty of the sunset
My eyes
They admire the trees

I wonder
how trees came to be
on the earth

then my mind begins to wander
and think if trees could talk
what would they say to each other?

Then my eyes
They drift towards the ocean

The ocean is so calm
It makes me want to run
Into the water
And splash around just like a dolphin

Blissful is how I feel
From my spot on the beach
Wishing I could hold on to the beautiful scenery forever
and wishing time would stand still
So I wouldn't have to eventually leave the beach and it's glorious view
