A world forgotten

I sat at the beach and gazed out at the turquoise waters and then asked how a world that holds such beauty could be overrun with dismay. The silent whisper of the wind gently telling me the earth's secrets comforted my slouched body. I lay in my lounger with sand granules coating my toes after I had dipped my lower region in the cool sea water. Seashells pricked the bottom of my soles as I strode across the shoreline. It was a rejuvenating experience. The sky was the most amazing color blue, and I looked into the clear skies and wondered how a world so beautiful could contain such hurt.
