Even though it is dark and gloomy it feels like the ocean knows me

I look out at the huge swell the ocean salt I can smell

As I go for a walk I can hear the birds squawk

Left, right, up, down, left, right, here I’m now at my happy place

The scenery is never the same, the sand washes out then back in again

Blue bottles, seaweed, cowrie shells, buoys, treasures brought in with the tide

As I get to the rock pool I look out and the ocean shines at me like a jewel

I can hear the crashing of the big waves against the rocks

“SPLASH,

                  CRASH,

                                   BOOM”

The lost souls that I can hear just like the voices that were once here

I take a deep breath in it feels like I’m at home again.
