Senses

Pause.

Close your eyes.

The wind clears your head.

Listen to each sound;

They all have a purpose,

Just like you.

Your family, your friends,

The soft music.

The waves crashing,

Diluting the symphony.

Hear the motor running,

Pushing you away,

From every worry,

From all the pain.

Feel the sun on your neck.

Let the wind blow through your hair.

Breathe.

Open your eyes.

Watch the others pass

And think about their futures.

See the clouds drifting around,

Protecting and shielding.

Watch the lonely one

Sailing in the sky.

Others will join it soon.

Smell the salt in the air;

Let it fill your lungs

And take over your soul.

Remember every smile

And every laugh.

Relax.
