Upon bounding into the ocean
With the transition from the soft, definite sand at my feet
To the moving, infinite waters around me
Chills surge through my body
I feel baptized
The saltiness of the sea cleans my soul
The striking coldness of the sea awakens me
The turbulence of the sea playfully moves me
And I am revitalized
I bear an entirely fresh view
Above me the azure great blue
In front of me, my two sunburnt feet poking out
And around me, translucent rippling water
Filled by light, the water bears a faint tropical green
And I see the world in an unprecedented transcendence
