Natural Therapy

The coastline on a stormy day, Foaming waves of the cold grey sea Pounding the beach around the bay. Nothing hi-tech, just strangely free, A vision to refresh the soul, Foaming waves of the cold grey sea. Nature’s medicine makes you whole Watching the water grey and white, A vision to refresh the soul. The sky is dull, my mood is bright, My spirits lift and I feel free Watching the water grey and white. Modern life always takes its toll, Ever the wind and waves prevail, My spirits lift and I feel free. Hearing the seagulls’ plaintive wail, The coastline on a stormy day, Ever the wind and waves prevail, Pounding the beach around the bay.

The sea is always a source of therapy for me but especially when the weather is windy and a bit stormy. Glad you liked it. Thank you.

Thanks for your response. I really love watching the sea on a piece of coast where there are very few people. It's lovely to be alone, away from all the noise of everyday life.
