The Ocean Shores


The Oceans Shore
By Cookie

As I walk along the oceans shore...
The feeling of peace, longing for more...
As I sit upon soft wet sand...
The gentle waves, touch my hand...
This Aura of wonder and tranquility...
Stretching as far as my eyes can see...
Watching the reflections move with the flow.

Feeling the comfort, of its inner glow...
Oh how I wish, this feeling would stay...
As I know I must walk away...
Wish I could leave all the hurt, pain and tears...
Behind me along, with all my fears...
Wouldn't it be nice, if we could leave on that shore...
Feelings that keep in our hearts, ever more...
If I wrote them in the sand, would they be swept away?

By the waves crashing in, Gone on their way...
Leaving us free, of DOUBTS and DESPAIR...
The ocean will handle them, then we won't care...
The ocean can be such a beautiful place...
As our minds wonder in and out of space.

I think that I already know....
We reap whatever we did sow...
I will keep looking, forever more...
But not what I wrote,on that OCEANS SHORE.....

This will be my last post for a while as early tomorrow morning I am leaving for the ocean shore. It's vacation time! I am very excited. I plan to read, walk on the beach, watch the sun set and not much else. My sobriety sister Sam is coming to the beach to spend a day or two and help celebrate my one year. My husband and I will celebrate 21 years of life together in the middle of the week as well. The very end of our vacation we will be travelling north to visit some family. Durning list part of the trip I hope to meet up with one or two fellow bloggers. Have a happy and safe week and I'll catch you all soon. Thanks for all the kind wishes I received yesterday. You all are a big part of my sobriety.
