Yoga by the Ocean

By Emily Krauss, Contributor

Poses and stretches

like the dolphins pose

are being done by the waters edge

 

I look into the sparkling water

and see the shadow of my reflection

in the bright and shining sunlight

 

and all around is nature

evergreen trees are in the distance

waving their strong branches in the wind as if to say hello

 

shells and rocks are scattered all over the vast and empty coastline which in my imagination

could be

money that fell out of a passerby’s pocket

 

calm is how I feel

just like I am in a meditative state or maybe I am in some sort of trance

 

I hear noises in the bushes. maybe a bear or maybe a child’s footsteps but still I continue to do

yoga poses out in nature

where I feel one with the land
