arieldiaries: Take me to the Ocean

Take me to the Ocean

I absolutely love the beach; the sea, the sand, the waves, the wind, the sun...

I found this poem in the March Edition of Salt Water Girl Magazine and thought I'd share it with you.

Sometimes when the drama

Gets a bit too much

And the world won't take a break

From its ever-present rush

There are too many voices

Inside my head and out

All desperate to be heard

That's why they scream and shout

I take a step away from the crowd

But their voices carry through the wind

Jumbled, chaos, loud.

Run, run, faster and faster

Away from all man-made disaster

To a quiet, peaceful beach

I let my hair flow wild

And as my toes dig in the sand

I find just like a child

I dive headfirst into the sea

The cold gives me release

And as I stare into its turquoise glimmer

I am overcome with peace
