The salty breeze

Brushes past my face

The warm sand beneath me

Grounds me to this earth

Not a single person to be seen

Across this vast beach

It’s just my thoughts and me

My thoughts are intrusive

Always there reminding me

Of the things I did wrong

And can never do right

But here on this empty beach

My intrusive thoughts are kept at bay

And the turmoil in my head

Seems to quiet down

A thought crosses my head

This must be what peace is
