Islay
Dark clouds mingle with light
Above the sandy windswept shore.
In solitude I ponder the
Gentle restless waves--
I regulate my breathing to the
Rhythm of their ebb and flow.
I surrender my soul
To serene surroundings
As I let its beauty enter
To restore my shattered soul.
The deeper I breathe in,
Then slowly exhale—
The greater swells my soul
With sweet serenity
Until I feel my spirit rise
Above the clouds to embrace
The welcome warmth of the sun.
*Islay, is in Scotland. My poem is about
Lossit Bay, on the West coast of the Rhinns of Islay
