Engrossed in thoughts,driving away
at a 100 speed on the highway
mulling over broken dreams
silencing in her head shouts and screams
a soul mate old
who had turned cold
for reasons to her not known
all she knew ,she was alone
her dreams shattered
of things that mattered
of good things not yet born
the car their blew its horn
steering wheels tightly white knuckles braced
brought her back from the haze
put her focus back on the road
but her heart unable to shrug the load
again mind wandering off in thoughts deep
did what she sow was what she reap
drowned in a sea of guilt
brooding over the life she built
till finally her eyes spotted blue
did what they say was true?
Her car on the edge she stop
in the shady parking lot
she picked her battered soul up
she a sadness filled in a cup
on cool white sands she walked
the beautiful breeze to her soul talked
her eyes rolled over the wide blue expanse
the cool shimmering waters held her in a trance
till she felt her miseries drowning
suddenly her brows ceased its frowning
lips smiled yet tears rolled
it was true what they told
the ocean did the soul heal
with a kiss would she seal
Picked her up from the fall
Life was not so bad after all!
Foreword:Today we all are a part of the world soaking in stress from every corner.Sometimes we are not even aware how it might be affecting us.Stress can have so many adverse effects on our bodily systems .It slows down our productivity as well.Although we may try to eliminate the source of our stress ,it is not a feasible idea everytime. This is when we start looking elsewhere.Being a religious person I believe trust in your creator is a great stress reliever.Apart from that what better way than to turn towards nature and as for the sea it heals your soul.Just take a drive down to the beach right now and you have to agree.

Very beautiful and very well said. The feeling you described of walking along the beach is so very accurate. I feel the same. Somehow the weight gets lifted off your shoulder. As if the waves would wash away all that bothered you… and the smile on your face returns.

thanks for complimenting …although the accuracy of expression could be simply attributed to the fact that it was written a day after a visit to the beach..and no matter what the source of stress in our life, like you said the sea simply heals the soul! 🙂

I like this. It started out and I held my breath hoping she won’t hurt herself instead she found some healing and respite. We need timeouts to destress now and again.
I would like to invite you to my blog party which just started. Link is titled ‘it’s party time come right in.”
