ocean's balm

The waves are healing and the breeze cleansing.  This is beautiful work Crim

"see me sun kissed
at one with nature
hidden in a little cove

take me to the quiet places
where I can find rest
I'm weary of being"

I'd rather think of you as sun-kissed, not weary of being.  The ocean does have restorative properties...

thank you Sir Crow yes just in need of a little ocean magic :)

So many people find the sea a calming  
effect to them. I was never really taken  
with the sea, or ocean. I'd much rather  
be cooking a mess of perch from the  
creek where I caught them. After they  
were fried I would make fish gravy with  
the leavens, sopping it all up with white
bread. Then lay there and dream of far
away places.

thank you Sir..

you've set the scene of a the creek nicely I'm enchanted :)

Oh that quiet place (reminds me of a thing my dad said once, he said...) "My goal is to create a life, I don't need a vacation from." he probably stole the quote, but that's okay because that's what I got from your first stanza, love.

At one stage in my life, I worked on cruise ships. My favorite thing at the time was to sit on the top deck and watch the sun rise, it was such a peaceful, comfort space. I loved that space.

Lately in my meditations, I have been trying something new, you see I wait until my meditative state is at it it's calmest and then I find solitude in places my body can't attend right at that moment. My mind finds peace.

I believe that there is no more beautiful attribute to a person (any person) than the knowledge of self. Personally knowing ourselves is not a easy task at all, it is indeed quite a obstacle many never overcome. But still the most giving, honest and truthful people I have met are at one with themselves, I think they are damn sexy man!

Crim, your piece has moved me; it has made me comfortable, it has given me peace and in some ways I found it nostalgic. I absolutely love it, deeply! Thank you so much for the honor of reading it!

Love @ you and your beautiful poetic setting

you read deep into a person's soul Al yes I wrote this because I was at unease within myself and it gave me peace to meditate there through the write.. a cleansing of my soul if you will.. bringing back carefree days at the beach..  
 
I'm happy this poem brought back good memories for you as well..  
 
though it sounds like partly given to your dad's advise you find peace wherever you are at any given time..  
 
I have yet to achieve that but seek it..  
 
thank you..  
 
much love Crim

thunderous it's presence
serenity does find
for weary the essence
of thoughts disinclined

Vibrations extended
the land I do yield
your soul to be mended
with love I have sealed

you Crimson.... enjoy always, that of your ink
