The Sea Soothes the Soul

The sea it soothes my soul

Worries hit like waves upon the shore And rush back out again- If only they didn’t  wash  back in.

 Scattered debris of life and love

Worries aplenty, send help from above. 

God said here is the ocean it shows you how life is fleeting like the tide and clouds 

Here’s the help sent from above…sand and wind, waves crashing, birds scratching 

Seagulls, pelicans and sandpipers too running to and fro delighting you. 

Foot prints in the sand left by birds, dogs and man even some crabs might’ve crossed the span from ocean to sand 

To the sea, to the sea. 

It’s where I want to be 

Healing arrives with the tide, bird calls and blue skies. 

Sand, wind, salt and shells 

Make you forget momentarily, your living hell
