Enveloped.

I went for a walk to the beach today.
The sea looked so beautiful. I stood by the edge of the water, looking out at the sparkling water.
I looked behind me. Cars drove down roads. Town houses were in the making.
I looked back at the sea. It looked so much more welcoming. So much more happy.
I wanted the sea to swallow me up, to take me away from this earth we have made ugly.
I took another step towards the sea, so the water touched the ends of my shoes.
Everything would be so lovely in there, if I lay down and stayed there. Forever in a lovely place.
As I was going to take another step, I remembered that this earth did have stars.
The ones who make this life worthwhile.
I took a step back.
Thank you to those stars that I am dangling from, clinging onto.
