The Beach Without Sand
Written by Miguel Santiago
Evokes a melody of surreal beauty, sung in the lyrical language of one’s soul. It paints a picture as vivid as a dream yet elusive as a mirage, pulling at the strings of a poetic paradox. How does the rhythm of the sea play without its timeless dance partner – the sand?
Though inconceivable, this beach without sand sings a soulful serenade of existential charm. It compels one to contemplate the essence of existence, the relativity of context. Does the absence of sand make the beach less of a beach, or does it become a canvas for the unfettered imagination, a testament to the abstract symphony of life?
The waves crash upon the invisible grains, a symphony echoing in the void. The cool touch of unseen mysteries replaced the warmth of sun-baked sand. Tide pools teeming with vibrant life are now ethereal whispers of the underwater realm.
A stroll along this unsanded coastline turns into a barefooted dance on the world’s heartbeat. Each step echoes in silence, each breath rhymes with the sea’s rhythm, each thought swirls with the ocean breeze, and the soul of beaches exists, even without the company of its granulated counterpart.
This beach without sand, more a metaphor than a geographic entity, invites us to redefine our perception of reality. It encourages us to explore the boundless realms of the mind where the oceans meet invisible shores, where the physical yields to the metaphysical, and where the soul expertly weaves tales of the impossible.
