9.1.12

Life's a beach

when I am here

I let my worries wash away

the never ending pulse of the sea soothes me

breathing in the fresh salted air cleanses me

the thrill of the water, the chill that envelopes me, surrounding and supporting me

I become part of the bigger picture

buoyant, I am adrift from any cares


looking at the horizon I am humbled, I am tiny in the ocean

catching one pulse of the world on a wave into shore

its thrilling to live

I ride the rush of life

turn around and enter again, to wait for another chance

a chance that comes and sometimes is missed

but there will always be another wave

another wave is certain, but when? who knows?

I wait, knowing this is my time

my time to just touch the surface

feel the energy

and live

This an amazing piece of poetry. Not only is it stunningly beautiful in capturing that exhilaration that proximity to the sea gives, it also reveals so much about you. What is even better is the knowledge that the creativity of your mind has already been passed on to your children.
