The Serene of The Ocean Calming My Spirit

The Serene of The Ocean Calming My Spirit

It’s always the place I could be
more myself to still the emotions within me
just sitting they’re taking in the fresh air
that's coming from the waves
as it hits against the rocks.

Waves coming over up until the shore,
I was sitting high up on the bench
As my mind stopped thinking.
Everything that I've been through,
Every heartache,
Every hurtful emotion,
That I've been feeling over the last week
Was nowhere to be found?

It emptied all those unsettling emotions.
That was running through my mind,
It’s amazing what the ocean can do.
As it tranquilize our minds.

And taking us far very far away
From everything you've felt,
I was most relaxed just sitting there.
In silence not being worried about
This or that but complete silence.

And just the sound of the ocean,
As I stare far beyond the distance
and see a ship sailing off,
The water was so calm and illuminating
that I didn't even think about
the time or rushing off to some place.

No it was just me sitting there
Enjoying the view of the ocean,
Just staring in deep thought
As the mind stilled.

No words for my next poem appeared,
No pain running through my body.
No feeling of "Oh my gosh" none.

Stillness resides within me
As meditation without me consciously
Knowing happened in those 3 hours
That I was feeling more at ease
Than I've ever felt in months.

Author Notes : I was at the beach yesterday and it something that always helped me to get a better reflection on my emotions. It was breath taking and it may have saved me from falling apart.
