Places

Places

 

Active addiction, everlasting perdition

Undeniably tough, relentlessly rough

Recoveries bane, struggles remain

Reliving pain, relentless, insane

 

 Trapped in the hood, hard to find good

No way to go, to the place I need so

A place I don’t dread, nor wish to be dead

Peaceful and calm, beautiful Psalm

 

Know that I should, if only I could

I surely would, get outta the hood

Lie down instead, resting my head

Eyes slowly close, maybe will doze

 

Like a meandering stream, my mind starts to wander

Real it does seem, as I take in the scene

Dreaming or real, no longer a matter

Peace fullness takes over, struggles soon scatter

 

Gentle sea breezes, bring smells of the ocean

Ears drinking sound, wave’s crashing ashore

Crawl up the beach, sucked back out to sea

To mingle again, totally free

 

Wings fully extended, gulls ride waves of air

Effortlessly gliding, nary a care

Incessant their chatter, songs of the sirens

Constantly moving, somehow so soothing

 

Ebbing and flowing, swells rise and fall

Living oceans smooth surface, glisten-ing in the sun

In constant motion, relentless, unending

Sensuous yet strong, a beautiful song

 

Washing over my face, a steady warm breeze

Enjoy splendor before me, all that I see

Cool sand under my feet, soft and inviting

Caressing my toes, forget all my woes

 

The ultimate rush, no drug can make me feel

That which I feel, feeling something so real

A small taste of heaven, the beach does provide

Releases a beauty, long buried inside

 

Feelings pour out, at the beautiful sight

Mix with the light, my heart knows all is right

My happy place, must be always in reach

Just close my eyes, I’m back home at my beach
