The Calming Seas
"I love the sea, its crashing waves are perfect imitation of the chaos in my soul."
- Makhaira
The seas exude a calm that is unique,
Rising from tortured waves that can't stand still,
When her mind’s in a whirl and oh so bleak!
She watches the warring waves and feels thrilled…
Their rise and fall mirrors her ups and downs,
Into the far horizon she gazes,
She is mesmerized by the rhythmic sounds,
Soft beats in the endless sand amazes,
A walk by the seas, ‘tis balm to her soul,
The bottomless waters wash ‘way her cares,
Her legs wrapped in the warm sand, she feels whole,
Sitting on the shore, she longingly stares…
The seas understand her best ~ yes, they do,
For they let her be, free to roam and see,
They don’t question her tears when she feels blue,
So that’s where she goes in sadness or glee.
