THE RUSHING WAVES
The torrent of the waves and tides
That tosses us from side to side
Up and down
Upside down
Inside out
Every which way
But here is sit
Quietly
Calmly
Serenely
Breathing deeply
Taking the air
Right through my body
From head to toe
Slowly
Ignoring all that is
On the outside
The noise
The bustle
The voices
Calming
And quieting
All thoughts
Of the day
The stresses
The strains
The pressure
That can befall all
The rushing sounds of the waves
Of the sea
Taking over my senses
Peace
Tranquility
Serenity
As though
Riding the waves
That brings
A restless mind
And body
To a peaceful
Solution
A perfect ending
To rollercoaster day
