As I sit down on the rocks
and look onto the glistening ocean
I greet that friend of mine called peace
and welcome it into my heart
The smell of seaweed and salty water
piercing my nostrils
Bull kelp twirling pirouettes around the waves
The rough barnacles
tickling my skin
I feel alive
I feel free
I hold on to that moment
absorbing every second of it
As I wait for life to sweep me far away from shore
yet again
