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.
