Emotional Healing

Memories of the ocean
The Pacific
The Atlantic
Bring emotional healing.
The smooth squeaky sands at Hilton Head.
The pebbly beach at Nags Head.
The smooth flat waves of Virginia Beach
And Hilton Head
Ideal for bodyboarding.
At Tamarack Beach in Carlsbad, CA.
Black in their wetsuits stalking the perfect wave,
Surfers bob up and down.
Cold in March I wade in ankle-deep.
and watch as the sun melts into the water.

Each new wave
	breaking on the shoreline
Brings healing energy
	to my soul, mind, and spirit
Each departing wave
	carries away pain, sorrows, and loss
Leaving me free to just be 
	again and again.
