The smell of the ocean and
the sound of the waves…
A tiny slice of heaven,
he could sit here for days…
Just allowing himself,
some private indulgence…
Unchaining his mind,
from life’s dark dungeon…
Watching the birds,
gliding on a slight breeze…
Admiring the conflict,
of the land versus the sea…
As they lock horns in,
their constant battle…
Whilst the sun beams down,
with its warm rays that will…
Create a peaceful memory,
he’ll remember forever…
Imprinted in his mind,
as he begins to endeavour…
To prevent the dark clouds,
that will soon arrive…
Spoiling this oasis,
causing his mood to dive…
And the Black solitude,
once again begins…
It’s a constant presence,
that’s carried on the wind…
Draining his thoughts and
trapping his broken soul…
Chained by the demons,
who once again take control…
But in this moment,
it’s just him and the sea…
He’s feeling so alive and
he’s feeling so free…
Smelling the ocean and
listening to the waves…
This tiny slice of heaven,
has the power to save…

Good God J you’ve done it again…*looks around the room for bugs, listening devices and video cameras*…can’t find any, maybe you just know my mind as well as I do…maybe you know I need the ocean to break away from the darkness…maybe you just rock big time.
