changing from cotton white to a flaming orange-yellow. My hand takes life as if filled with its own emotions. I suddenly stop as I see the tide start to come in. I watch from a distance as the now blue sea touches the golden brown sand. The cold sea fills my footprints and wipes it away as if it were never there.
