Three Word Wednesday

I've been inspired...
So I'll play along.

Three Word Wednesday.
This week's words are: Edgy, Iconic, Lithe


The salty water lapped against my ankles as my feet disappeared into the sinking sand.  The coarse grains tickled my toes.  The breeze fluttered through my tousled locks and flipped strands into my face as I struggled to keep balanced.  I let my head to fall back gently, closed my eyes, and exhaled as the sun kiss my cheeks.  Lithe, I finally felt.  Tranquil.

The week's events left me feeling particularly edgy - filled to the brim with anxieties and frustration.  I could feel the toxins settle into my ribs and back.  Oh, that pressure.  My spine.  I need relief.

Your idea to visit the coast was a welcomed thought.  I agreed and began gathering my things without hesitation or protest.  You'd drive.  We'd sing loudly to our favorite songs.  The warm, salty air would melt my trepidation and give us the opportunity to reconnect in that iconic, old cottage on the shore.

I forget how good this place feels.  The faint calls and whistles of wild parrots.  The sweet scent of a damp, salt drenched world.  I can taste it on your lips.

Beyond the confines of my concrete existence, the ocean takes with it my angst.  Relieved, I let it go.
