The Ocean is calling as I walk on the beach
My breath in the waves as inward I reach
I dive to the depths where the silence is cold
Its here we discover more secrets untold.
~~~
I look to the sand and the footprints of mine
The billions of grains each formed over time
Each rock made perfect, smoothed and so round
Washed back and forth forming sandy soft ground
~~~
I think of the deserts and mountainous dunes
And wonder the eons of ocean wave plumes
Those droplets of water that rise with the Sun
My mind dives in further when the planet was begun
~~~
The Star Sun that brings us life and its light
The Moon up above whom lights up our night
Everything perfect, each creature in place
I breathe in still deeper, expelling mind waste
~~~
I let go of worries, I let go of Fear
Diving yet deeper I taste the salt tears
They stream down my face and run into the Sea
For everything is perfect as I breathe into ME
~~~
For I AM the Ocean and I AM the Sky
And each grain of sand is made up of I
We roll back and forth feeling currents and calm
Each of us moulded, I lifted my palm
~~~
I scoop up the sand, as it falls in the breeze
Each found their place and level with ease
I took one more breath as I surfaced from deep
As the waves crashed ashore, my heart it did leap
~~~
And that’s why the Ocean to each one it calls
For we’re grains of sand and yet are part of the ALL
At One now I stood as I walked on my way
Giving thanks to the Ocean and her teachings this day
~~~
So next when you visit and see the waves tides
Be sure to breathe deep and match her heart cries
Breathe in and out to her rhythmic wave senses
Let her take you within as she clears and she cleanses.

I wrote this on my short break, I love just closing my eyes listening to the sounds of the Ocean and Seagulls cries and measuring my breath to that of the waves..
More pictures to follow shortly
And Have a Great Start to the Week
Love and Peace

Sue, this is beautiful and so timely. Being away from my lake for a week I returned late last night. Today I headed out and the first place I wanted to be was next to the lake where I could smell the unique scents and feel the air blow across my face and tossle my hair. Each place I’ve visited on the earth has its on unique feel and scent each affecting me differently.
