BEACH
Under the scorching sunlight
and the heavy gusts, our feet were sinking into the shallow, white sand. The
rippling waves rolled upon and broke itself on the steep coastline, and the
backflow of the salty water took vast amounts of freckled sands amid its
energetic motion.
Our bare footsteps got
imprinted upon the dense sand, which would only disappear when the waves would
wash it ashore. The gleaming grainy sand was reflecting shimmering amounts of light,
forming mirages towards the far end of the coastal strip. Dormant, spiny
starfishes and seashells of all different shades were littered along the
boundary the highest tide approached.
On both sides of the
length of the coast, protruding rocky headlands appeared, followed by chalky
arch, stumps and solitary stumps of rock in the middle of the sea. The palm
trees were leaning upon each other like
exhausted men, the sound of their leaves shuffling upon one another echoing on
the vertical dark brown cliffs all over the vicinity.
The salty fresh air
tingled our nose linings occasionally, while the warm sand below gave satisfactory
warmth. Wave rolled and broke at our foot,
forming a thick sticky sand layer on the palm of the foot; only discomfort coming
from it being irritably stubborn below my long, dirty toenails.
