Poem
She ran! Away from the noise Away from all her troubles Away from her sorrows Away from their judgmental stares The useless side talks The back biting She ran! Away from it all And into the warm embrace of the night The road was lonely But she cared not It was just what she needed The beauty of silence Peace She arrived at her destination Her place of solace Her favorite spot Her favorite time of the day The beach at night Beautiful it was She loved the beach at night No one in sight Just right! She inhaled the salty air And exhaled the foul air of strife Just what she needed It was cold But she cared not The peace felt like a warm blanket around her She needed this The ocean was magnificent It brought joy to her soul She smiled at its powerful waves They beat hard against the face of the ocean They spoke kind words to her And approached her feet in submission Kissing the shoreline This thrilled her She sat before it Savoring her few hours of bliss and solitude She looked up at the moon and smiled The moon smiled back at her Her night friend He loved her frequent visits here She loved them too The perfect therapy! She tried to bury all sad thoughts The drama and pain she left behind She deserved this peace Tomorrow she’ll fight again But tonight she would savor this beautiful view And drink it all in…sweet peace!
