Silent reverie

With only the soft moonlight 

To light my way,

I've gone into the narrow walk

Beside the bay.

'Twas a quiet night

I noticed.

Only the sound of waves splashing into the brick wall

And the occasional howls of wisps of air

Could be heard.

It was as if I was walking

Into a bubble of my own world.

Deserted as it may seem, 

I revered into the quiet calmness

That became my solace.

I enjoyed the walk that never seemed to end.

How great it felt

To feel free,

To be alive,

And to breathe.

But alas!

Like the great cycle of life,

The walk had to stop.

And as I see the haunting shadows waiting for me

At the end of the tunnel of my sanctuary,

I knew that my chaotic misery will soon hug me

Ending my beautiful silent reverie.

mmmm carissa, so well known is this momentary respite from life's continuous insult of lessons and come-uppance. your escape includes the sea, which resonates to the whole of me. i have a daydream i still visit when needs arise which encompasses a tree house on the most golden of sandy beaches and the bluest, most magnanimous of waters .......

your private escape is the most beautiful sanctuary. be sure to visit regularly. :)

[Carissa Marie]

A beautiful hideaway to escape from the daily grind and unsavoury tensions of life. We all wish we could stay on forever but life keeps pulling us back. Such a great message so well conveyed!
