to be as unrestrained
as the birds taking to the sky
basking in evening’s last light
and inhaling the ocean’s breath
sustenance for the soul
relaxation for the mind
well-being for the body
oh, take me to this nirvana
where i might relive ecstasy
and experience bliss
sighing for blue waves
salivating for white sand
dream of paradise
with only wifi
the internet
unlimited freshwater
an endless supply of food
family
friends that are family
comfy beds
sturdiest of shelters
a boat
and a friendly dolphin
i’m good

My surroundings easily force me to breathe in the tranquility.
I’m seduced to engage with a nature free from annoyance.
My being is in harmony with the world.
Shhhhh listen to the quiet, you can hear it.
It’s like being gently enveloped by the serene.
All the memories of conflicts dissipate.
Bliss and colors are magnified to a brilliant degree.
All my senses breathe it in deep into the interior of my soul.
And then, I exhale contentment.

aching and tired
pulling from nothingness
stretched beyond breaking
icy snow falls
it’s cold and wet
sandy white beaches beckon
new hope emerges
imagining a better day
capturing a moment of bliss

I can hear the flutter of my heart, recalling the stories of our past. They still haunt me. One thought ignites a spark; my mood begins to lift and returns me to the time your words of love gave my life wings.
“Tina, are you with us?” My boss and the other staff stared me down.
“Yes, I am,” as I shift in my chair, taking a sip of water from the glass in front of me. I am filled with gratitude as my boss turns back to the whiteboard, and I return to the crystal clear waters of Eleuthera.
turquoise shorelines beckon me
the subtle dissonance of the waves resonates in my ears
all the pent up tension leaves my body
as each easy footprint lands in the sand and water
the shh of wooshing waves
makes me one with nature
my senses come alive with her female charms
with her sensual colors and soft winds
seducing me to stay
the themes of relaxation surround me
the release i experience
speaks for itself
life is random
my thoughts specific
i’d like to live
where i would thrive
a place
filled with comfort
meeting my needs
supplying what’s required
this
my paradise
this
enough of what is needed
