Lay your body upon the sand
And close your eyes to horizons wide.
Feel the wind blow through your toes
And let your soul float with the tide.
Drift to sleep in peaceful mode,
And take the sun’s warm embrace.
Let it seep through your bones,
And feel its glow upon your face.
Listen to the rushing surf
As it comes crashing upon the sand,
Together with the whistling wind
They play the tune of a marching band.
Look within your aching heart
And cast your burdens to the sea.
Like the seagulls taking flight,
Your body fills with energy.
Do not move, do not disturb;
Motionless, stay for a while.
And when your body feels the surge,
Show your pleasure with a smile.
