      I try to make time to go for a walk at least once a week. We live on the south coast, but as I don’t often have time for the luxury of driving up to the South Downs, or down to the beach, it might just be walking to the shops. I also sit in the garde

      The Ocean - Anthony G. Martinez

      Forgive Me...

      Stuck in this oasis

      Water as far as my eyes could see

      Toes tapping

      Water splashing

      Because I’m replaying their moment under the sun so I could imagine how much they are having fun

      I wonder when will I have enough
