I sit in the sand

Gazing up at the stars

Sparkling like fireflies

Dancing in the moonlight

I close my eyes

Hear the waves

Beckoning to the shore

Breathe in that salt breeze

Fill the ocean fill your lungs

No matter what you are feeling

Happiness, Sadness, Stress

Whatever is wrong in your life

All you need to do is come here

To this spot

This beach

Look up, close your eyes and breathe in

All your troubles wash away

Get lost in the tide

If just for the moment

You can always find peace here.
