LIEING ON THE HOT SUMMER SANDS OF THE SEASHORE WITH MY HANDS EXTENDED TO MY SIDES FEELING THE HEAT OF DAY POUNDING UPON MY SKIN. THIS DAY AS NO OTHER FOR THERE WAS NOT A KISS OF THE USUAL MISTY WIND. MY LEGS WERE CROSSED AND MY HEAD PROPTED PRESSING MY CHIN TO MY CHEST. I CLOSED MY EYES TENDING TO REST. FALLING INTO A SLEEP THAT BROUGHT PAIN BYE THE SECOND. FIRST MY HEAD WAS ACHING AS IF IT HAD BEEN PUNCTURED WITH A WEAPON. MY HANDS COULD NOT CLOSE NOR MY FEET MOVE. I WAS BOUND TO THE BEACH THE SEEMED TO HAVE CHANGED IT'S MOOD. I AM HANGING IN MID AIR AND THE COMFORTING WATERS ARE GONE. I AM SURROUNDED BYE SOLITUDE AND CONSUMED BYE ANGUISHING PAIN THAT HAS TORE THE FLESH OF MY RIB CAGE. I BECOME FAINT OF IT ALL AND BEGIN TO PASSOUT IN THE SLEEP THAT I WAS ALREADY IN. THEN I HEARD A VOICE THAT CAME SWIFT AS A STORMY WIND. AFTER ALL I HAVE DONE FOR YOU, YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LIFE YOU LIVE! I SUFFERED THESE PAINS FOR YOU SO YOU WOULD HAVE A CHANCE AT SUCH A WONDERFUL GIFT. MIGHT SIGHT BECAME DARK AS FADED THE LIGHT. THEN SO BRIGHT MY EYES OPEN BACK TO THE SHORE IN WHICH I LIE. FORGIVE ME OH FATHER. THANK YOU OH CHRIST.
