Excitedly, the ocean welcomes me back with its liquid embrace.

Summer is over, but thoughts of the ocean continue to draw my mind back to sunny landscapes of white sand, blue water, palm trees, and the variety of activities nature’s playground offers. The images temporarily fade away as I step out into the cooling winds and changing colors around me. Shortly after that, my mind wants to return to where the sun heats the sand and my body. The place where ease is the staple of the day, and night promises no worries.

I’m homesick for paradise.

Trip To Paradise

annual getaways
making memories to keep us sane
until the next one

over all too soon
already yearning for the future
to die and go to heaven

waiting for the day
the last return
when we stay there forever

Peace On The Beach

I hope I don’t expire before I get to soar on the ziplines again. And run down the coastline in the early morning saying hello to the rising sun. My dearest Happy Place I hope to see you again soon!

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip inspired me to share this with you!

I Write Her

I
want my
skin immersed
in warm, wet silk.
Soothing envelopment of my body
heals and reenergizes my mind and limbs.
I’ll splash in this
malleable
moisture
here.

i, suffering from burnout
felt the necessity to flee to paradise
sooner rather than later

This poem really makes me look forward to Summer! I love the construction and flow of it. The stanza in the middle reminds me of arms hanging down on the lounge chair.
