Losing time

I made it back from my solo holiday and I managed to write a few pieces whilst I was away. Going away was all about taking a step forward and recognising my healing process, you can read more in the blog post Solo Holiday Healing. I want to share with you this piece which I wrote when I was transfixed on the view and time became irrelevant. 

 

Losing Time

 

I sit on the beach 

I stare out at the sea 

I see hills in the distance

I appreciate the glass like water 

I enjoy seeing people enjoying each other’s company 

I hear the crickets chirping

I feel the sun kissing my skin 

I taste the salt in the air 

I appreciate the clear sky 

I look to the furthest point, the edge of the world

 

I want to be at peace 

I search for answers 

I question my choices 

I challenge my thoughts 

I wonder why I’ve gone through what I have 

I fight the numbness to try and feel

I know that I’m here for a reason

I try to be kind to myself 

I lift my head a little higher

I quietly thank those who have been there no matter what
