Picture by Jim Warren

* * *

My mind is awash with emotion
As I walk beside the sea
Waves of darkness are looming
They cast a shadow over me

The grey sky suits my mood
There is no sun to be seen
The ocean looks so angry
As it changes from blue to green

My arms envelop my body
I try to keep the wind at bay
I struggle to find happiness
On this dark depressing day

But as I look towards the horizon
A ray of light shines through
It gives me hope and inspiration
As grey skies turn to blue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

This reminds me of my last visit to the coast. About 14 of us were walking along the beach, I was trying to watch everyone and make sure no one was lost, (it was a church retreat so there were kids too, and were were about a half mile away from where we were staying) weather was fine. But then a huge storm cloud came and within seconds people scrambled, by the time hail hit several were running back to camp. Once we were all inside (and I had finished a head count to make sure nobody was missing) I sat down on a bench to watch the ocean a little longer, and just then a beam of light shone through. Almost immediately the hail and rain stopped, within minutes the grass and sand were dried. It was just beautiful...
Not really sure why I shared that story, this just reminded me of it

You really do write beautifully...

Always, Alyssa
