He

Curling his toes,
he wiggles and buries them
deep into the warm white sand.
The ocean waves move steadily
back and forth across the shore,
each breath the heavy sigh of a giant.
White foam curling around his ankles,
he leans back and stares above
into the great blue expanse.
The cloudless sky seems to
fall upon him like a blanket.
He inhales with the ocean waves.
A brown crab scuttles by.
He lets the air rush from his lungs
as the sun wraps around his shoulders.
