the tides that heal

I want to walk out the door and get lost,

somehow finding myself

at the ocean's edge.

I want to breath again,

let the salty air fill my lungs

and heal my wounds

one breath at a time. 

I want to hear the waves crash,

close my eyes and lose myself in earth's orchestra.

playing so loud it drowns my thoughts.

I want the sun on my skin,

revealing the angel kisses winter stole.

to feel the greatest warmth I've ever known.

I want the sand between my toes,

all my negative thoughts melt through me

and disappear- buried like forgotten treasure.

I want to feel alive again.

my soul desires the one place that never fails me,

the sanctuary that never lets me down,

where I've always felt whole.
