Rippling Sounds

Stillness captures my essence

alone, solitary in the sea of life

I don’t know where I’m going

nor do I care

as long as the peace surrounds me

wraps me in its embrace

baby waves lapping at my feet

lulling me into serenity

soothing me into forgetting

all my swells and whitecaps

helping me gaze

at the passage ahead

on the briny horizon

the soft sea colors

waiting for me

no emotional splashes

just rippling sounds

endless aqua expanse

promising me a home -

my happy place.
