Sticky sweaty skin
The sun is setting and the air is gentle
Rough rocks turn to soft sand
The ocean water now reaches my lower back
Another step and I dive in
The massive darkness pulls
Stress and worries peel away
Up and out; another new breath
A clearer vision
Take your turn with the salted sea


Wow you did again Graham 🙌 Love everything about this week’s poem, and the video was just so beautiful and peaceful to watch !! Everyone who knows me and is close to me knows how much I love the ocean and my walks at the beach in the evening watching the sunset is my happy place. I’m so blessed to be living at the Top End of Australia as we have summer all year long so this makes it so much easier. No matter how hard of a day I had once I’m near the ocean I forget everything it is so rejuvenating! I wish I could share you here some of my videos of the beach I have recorded and posted at my IG account but I have no idea 🤷♀️ how to attach a video here. I’m so grateful that I live so close to the beach. Now we know what you needed the new wetsuit for 😉Thanks again for this inspiring poem!Keep them coming!!🙏💖😊
Graham, after last week's poem, I traveled to the mountains in upstate South Carolina. I went to Table Rock National Park. On the way there, I saw a beautiful waterfall which I shared pictures of on Social Media. At the park, there was a beautiful lake and one little Mallard Duck just waiting to be fed. He was so friendly and his colors were just beautiful. I captured some of the most amazing pictures of him and also shared those on Social Media. After a hectic week, this was exactly the solace that was needed. Getting out and just admiring God's creation and beauty was so relaxing. There is a nature trail close to my house where I also go occasionally next to the Rocky River. You are exactly right, we all need to do this chilling out on occasion. Good for the mind, body, and soul.
Love this poem. Thanks again for sharing with us your inspirational writings. Cheers!
