Take some time, if you may
To walk out on the beach someday
Just stroll along the water's side
And feel your tension, stress subside.

If you go, you may see
Footprints that were made by me
The last time that I walked by
The water's edge, the evening sky.

The setting sun, it droops so low
In the sky, cast reddish glow
On the sands, immaculate white
In the day, and gray at night.

Here your fears drip off like wax;
It's here that you can truly relax.
If you have them, spread wings out wide
And feel your tension, stress subside.

That's what I do, on those days
I try to relax in so many ways
Only one always works, I don't care why;
To the water's edge, the evening sky.

Stretch your tail out, breathe no fire;
Staying here's my one desire.
For here I relax, out of sight
In the day, to way at night.

I wish I had a beach house to go with it...

Today, I needed this walk along the sand. Thank you! (did you see that you now have a Mentor? NO? Get thee to the Mentor/Teen Lounge then!)

I love walking along the beach too, and letting the waves lap over my bare feet. After reading your poem, I can't wait until the snowy winter months are over so I can go again.

Very nice, indeed, Sam. I want to find this place. Hey, who needs a house when you have a home like that?

We are Here! "X" marks the spot, but I really really wanna be at the beach! You made my soul ache to hear the surf Spyro! Whata beautiful poem, the water is an awesome way to unwind.
Hope you get your beach house soon! *wink*

I want to print this... just to have handy when I have to regroup! So moving and wonderful to experience. (Before, never experienced what you wrote...now I have.) Thank you.

A walk on the beach can ruin a perfectly bad day!!

I can think of any advice better than waht you gave. Very relaxing.
