the waves calm and gentle
soothing and somehow
making you feel better
taking away your pain
healing your wounds
the rolling waves, beautiful blue
and never ending
the sand warm and relaxing
the extraordinary mountains
never insulting or confrontational
just sitting, enjoying being envied
watching people in awe of their beauty
always there if you need a quiet place
even if for just a second
they are always there
as if
they are a shoulder that
you can cry on
