At the shore

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)



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.
