My body kissed by
burning rays and chilling waves,
abrasive sand and
gentle breeze, in ecstasy,
I lick the salt from my lips.

Wow- this was so visceral! I love all the opposites of burning and chilling and abrasive and gentle- very nice!

Oh, I love this, the way you describe all the extremes of feeling and experience, and all leading to ecstasy! Well done

Ah yes, I do admire the way you’ve described the sensual, sublime experience of being at the shore.

I was convinced I had already commented on this. Perhaps my comment is still awaiting moderation? Anyway, I really enjoyed this, I love the contrasts.
