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
