A Little Dose

The waves lap up against the shore, A soothing sound that I adore. I’ve heard this many times before Yet always, it’s appealing. Aside from sea gulls, there’s no sound. Off-season, no one is around, So when I hear the wavelets pound, Relaxed is how I’m feeling. My normal anxious state recedes. The ocean rules; my mind accedes, For this is what my body needs, A little dose of healing.

Couldn’t argue with a word of that, Ilene. I think an affinity with water, be it river, lake or sea, is something you either have or don’t have. I love the waterside, yet strangely, almost never write about it… must give that some thought… A smashing write that was actually soothing in its own right.
