\u00a0<\/strong>When the soul of the city aches
\nWith its dead-weight of commerce,
\nAnd its mortar and bricks stare at you –
\nYou think of an ocean.<\/p>\n

 
\nJuniper Beach is one clean
\nMoment of joyful eternity,
\nA reward for a million insults of the world –
\nBeautiful transformation.<\/p>\n

 
\nChildren mold sand in different ways
\nTo form interesting objects;
\nAdults return to their childhoods
\nTo feel their original souls.<\/p>\n

 
\nWomen feel water unmasking
\nTheir worldly covers.
\nPurity of nature makes
\nThem more beautiful.<\/p>\n

 
\nThe water drops wafted by the lush loose breeze
\n
\nBreak light into colors;
\nFloating clouds above
\nMake us think we are in a journey.<\/p>\n

 
\nPeople at the beach are in a fantasy
\nOf a world that has not come about yet –
\nBut it is possible.
\nLife is experience<\/p>\n

 
\nWe go to ocean to reclaim our freedom,
\nUnadulterated selves,
\nLife is a gift of gods –
\nTo explore, to create, and to dream.<\/p>\n

 
\nWe are driven to go back to nature
\nFrom where we came;
\nThe intermediate architecture a waste –
\nOur destiny is written.<\/p>\n

 
\nGive me a moment of
\nClean beautiful freedom;
\nYou can take the Dow Jones,
\nBut let me breathe.<\/p>\n

 
\nIn the surf is the swirl of joy,
\nIn the careless breeze our ingrained freedom;
\nIn the sacrifice our bliss –
\nLife is an awakened-dream.<\/p>\n
