New Horizon

That Scent!
that pungent scent, which linger in your clothes that day after you've been awake the whole night. I feel my clothes cling to my bare skin as if i had been swimming the whole night. Was I swimming or sweating?
I don't want to open my eyes. I hear faint rustling on the side, while the tiny grains of sand brush up against my face. I was not in the comfort of my bed.
No!
I wasn't in my room or in my bed. I can feel the warmth of the morning sun touch my toes. I don't want to but i open my eyes slowly . Mentally preparing myself for what i hoped to be a dream.
It has to be a dream ! This can't be real ?
The Beach.....
Or atleast what seemed like the Beach . I can feel my cheeks lying flat of the soft textured fine grained sand. The green of the trees immidiatly reach my eyes. I can hear the soft howl of the wind blowing and with it the raspy back vocal of rustling leaves, as if trying to orchestrate a soft lullaby to induce me back to sleep.
The entire atmosphere felt like a sleeping drug. I would have traded my leg for a soft pillow right now. but wishful thinking isn't going to help me any way. Realization slowly started seeping in that i must get up ....I can't lay down like this any more . I must know where i am ..I must know what i did.
I dig my toes in the sand . The warm sand, i feel it urging my to stay , to not leave its company.
My palms are faced up as i lay faced down, coming to the resolve to finally get up . I curl up my fingers in my right hand , then my left. I feel the sensation of blood rushing to my fingertips. I curl my hands bringing in it closer to my face, while i move my head in syncronious manner to the other side , half expecting another creature to be sitting there ... gawking at me .
It pierces me !!! the sharp sting of the suns morning rays coming directly at me drowns me in regret, as my face cringes and reveals what i feel are the wrinkles on my face.
Support on my right hand , i bring my left had towards my face. With one swoop i brush off all the natures exfoliators.
Bringing both my hands to be face down . i redirect all of my energy to the palm of my hands . With one strong push this lopsided land was right side up .
