Reflection

Look at me, you will see yourself
Maybe a little shaky, with my ripples…
But, clear nonetheless
Do you feel the peace I offer you?
Is it showing on your face?
Does my movement along the shore soothe you?
I offer laps of sound to listen to, one by one
Or maybe you will want to take a dip with me
Come in, cool off!
Dive into the reflection of yourself
Come out renewed!
I am here, I am waiting
For you to be cleansed
And walk away with freedom!

Hi Heidi, I do love walking by the water. Your excellent write does give it a voice, a calm, joyful voice. A personification of water could be a personification of your heart. I love the content and the strong images your words do convey. A beautiful write Heidi. A Fave. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Such a soothing description of the sea Heidi, my most favourite place to be and I am so lucky to live beside it. The sea gives me such solace at times of stress and the ebb and flow of the tide just washes my worries away. Thank you for this beautiful personification Heidi, a FAV for me for sure! Kindest thoughts Ann xx
