As I lay here

I lie here feeling the heat on my face

Eyes closed, breathing deep.

How come silence makes thinking easier?

I could lie here all day

listening to the water crash, to the children laughing.

I find peace in these moments

curling my toes in the chilled sand.

I crave these moments

the peace and solitude in my head.

 I live for these moments

that stop time

and bring the floating emptiness

that feels complete.

I love nature and listening to it. It's a beautiful thing to even think about really. Well done you're very good!

Good to relax and fall into nature and solitude. I like the place you took me in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
