A day by the shore

I walk along

No thoughts in my head

to the sound of the waves crashing at the shore

each time a thought threatens

the prison walls of my mind

each rolling wave would save me from myself

I feels safe within these barriers

the haven of this secluded creation

my thoughts mostly unheard

masked by the constant sound

another wave crashes

water rolls over my feet as I walk :-)

I face not those fears

that hold me back

that path I fear to tread

I hear HIS voice

"Don't think of what might have been"

regrets are pushed aside

longing and stress, they have no place in me anymore

within these mental walls

time to let go

only one fear alone, I hear so clear

what if the crashing of the waves stop?

what if these thoughts, I hide so well

were to escape, and their voices were heard?

but that sweet sound of the waves.....

the faithful distraction

lulls my mind once more

His voice speaks to me again....

"Let the sea carry it away

leave it here

in exchange , take my love"

time to go now

one last inhale of the salty sea air

I walk home alone

no thoughts in my head

what an unworthy exchange

cleansed from myself, my own worst enemy

the waves in the pocket of my heart

what a refreshing day by the shore

:-)

(Walking with Him who IS Faithful and Just..... I love you, my Lord.)
