THE SHORE OF ESCAPING

As I walk by the shore

To escape the struggles I face,

I find shells that I adore.

I hear a strange whisper,

And seek to find the mumble which is kind,

The gentle voice becomes crisper

Only to discover it’s the winsome wind.

Calmness sets into my mind,

As I lay on the warm sand

I feel a placid finger against my face

It’s the serene sunlight painting my skin into a golden tan

Which I wear gladly like a summer dress

The time stands still

As I wonder about the mysteries that lie in the sea

For the magnificent view to my eyes

All my troubles drift away from me.

I forget all my emotions

So my mind is free

For the endless sea in motion

Drifts my troubles away

Imagine what could happen only

If the ocean would take you to an adventure untold.
