At the shore

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)

Rhymed
My soul longs for the shore, there, my anxiety and depression are no more.
At the shore, all things dark and negative cease,
all I feel is tranquility and peace.
I sit and breathe the salty air, my mind is quiet, without a care.
The warmth of the sun, the feel of the sand and the gentle breeze, puts my weary mind at ease.
A beautiful place that I adore, my heart will always be at the shore.
