When my mind is troubled,
My thoughts will flee,
To a little strip of sand,
Where the land meets the sea.
I’ve walked this beach,
So often, before,
Felt the grit of the sand,
Heard the Ocean’s roar.
There’s something about where the land meets the sea,
That eases my mind tremendously,
A rhythmic collision, two worlds compete,
A symbiotic score,
Just as before, just as before.
Foamy tendrils run towards the shore,
Then pulling, imploring, revealing there’s more,
Only to rise with might, full height,
Then fall with abandon, majestic, right.
There’s something about where the land meets the sea,
In my thoughts, in my heart, it will always be,
No matter where I am or ever shall be,
A refuge, a place, very special to me.
