*
Walk along the beach, the crashing waves
thundering in your ears, and the light, salted mist,
dampening your lips.

The sun is beginning to set, and the voice of the sea
travels across the ocean waves.

Here you shall find peace.

Pause, and listen to the symphony of waves,
Gliding in the wind.

Feel the power, renew your inner being.
When you leave, go with
the peace that you have found.
