THE WINTER OCEAN
The lonely, raging ocean uses it’s mysterious tides to pull in more sand.
Shaking, the wild ocean screams because the sand is becoming too cold.
She is becoming worried that the sand won’t give her comfort when she’s alone.
The sand is the only friend that she has, but she doesn’t like the sand when it’s cold.
Suddenly, the insane big blue sea realizes that the sand won’t be able to give her comfort; it is now freezing.
Nobody comes to the beach now; it’s a gloomy winter.
No one will swim with her.
She calms down.
She gently rocks the ships that are calmly floating above the deep waves.
She can’t help but to drag in more cold sand.
Now there are extreme ocean breezes that cause the immense water to feel chills running down her spine.
Normally when this happened, the ocean would pull the hot sand into the water.
She can’t do that now because the sand is as cold as ice.
The ocean feels alone and needs something to be with her.
Her loneliness is almost tangible.
So, she reaches out her big, strong arms and drags the sailing ships under the water to comfort her.
The beautiful, enchanted ocean always acts up when she feels alone and isolated.
