Beach Treasure

It was early in the morning when I woke.  I look out of the window at the ocean waves, they seem to beckon me.  I quickly get out of bed and run down to the beach filling my lungs with the salty ocean air.  It seems to cleanse me.  I sit on the cool sand and watch as the mountain-like waves grow and then come crashing down and flatten out, to see how far up the shore they can get.  Every new wave brings new treasures, that were brought from the depths of the sea.  As the water from a big wave starts to recede back to the ocean, I see something shiny.  I hop up and run over to see what it is.  To my joy I find beach glass.  It is the color of the sky, and the surface is so smooth it is almost hard to believe.  Overjoyed, I run back to the condo to show my family my treasure.
