"MoonLight Muse Paradise"

Sand castles with hand dug moats,
crashing waves and sailing boats.
Walking bare foot on sandy shores,
collecting sea shells, all shapes and sorts.

As I watch the ebb and flow of the tide,
I feel a release and comfort inside.
Calming and peaceful my senses alive,
I've been waiting too long for this day to arrive

I'm front row center stage with an awesome view,
watching the ocean touch the sky so blue.
A soothing symphony played out in time,
as the waves crash on the rocks at my side.

I smell the salt in the mist of the breeze,
as each tide laps at the edge of the beach.
This is paradise to my aching soul,
therapy unlike any that I've ever known.

I run my fingers through the soft silky sand,
feeling the texture sift through my hand.
I'm not day dreaming...I'm really here,
a place in the sun I've dreamt of for years.

My troubles are gone, washed out to sea,
I'm not taking any of them back with me.
I feel as though I've come alive,
My weary soul has been revived.
