Hypnotising Harm

Navigating center
my sail in the wind
waves pulsing by
only left to rescind


Discovering land
rich and bare
feet on the sand
sun stripping cares


Heating the skin
warmth can trace 
Lillie’s and roses
all over my face


Tide creeping in
laps at my feet
slowly it rises
till we both meet


Seahorses twirling
around the seabed
seagulls are laughing
their wings outspread


Carried away 
on a swell of joy
embracing the peace
pain cannot destroy
