Come with me
To a place
By the sea
Where the sun
Shines high above
And the sand
Is so soft
Under your feet
take a moment
Close your eyes
Feel the breeze
through your hair
and the warmth
on your skin
It's not much
But it's enough
All you need
To let go
Just sit back
Take deep breaths
Imagine the scent
Of salty sea
on the breeze
Imagine the sound
Of the waves
lapping and crashing
The children playing
In the distance
But not far
Sip some water
Let some drip
On your skin
Release the tension
You've been holding
Like a dog
On a leash
Inside your mind
And your stomach
Offload the stress
From your jaw
Unwind and recline
Nothing to worry
nothing to fear
Is it real?
Does it matter?
Let yourself go
Recline and relax
Let your mind
take the lead
follow its path
where it goes
enjoy the peace
cherish the quiet
Revive your spirit
Ready for tomorrow
And whatever comes
*
Thanks for reading
Author's Note: I decided to just write and let the words take me where they wanted. There was very little editing done to this, because I wanted there to only be a very little gap between the words coming from my mind and onto the screen.
This is as much for me as well as anyone else. If it helps, I'm glad.
