Sometimes I feel as if life gets faster
and faster...
As we get older,
one would think it should get slower...
It doesn't...
And then,
my soul begins to seek escape...
I need to sit on the beach
and listen to the seagulls...
Breathe the salt air,
look out across the ocean
and do nothing...
Nothing...
It is so soothing to place tired feet into warm sand...
and just sit,
doing nothing,
but feel the warm kiss of the sun...
this restful slumber...
My senses are being put back in order...
The sound of the gentle waves
and the taste of a frozen coconut daiquiri
asure me that we are on
island time.
but a few beautiful books
can send your dreams
over the rainbow...
