Water Therapy
Atlantic Ocean – Wrightsville Beach
Ocean waves thunder & roll
Crashing unrepentant against the shore
Greenish-blue water with froth on top
Wind blasts sand on my skin
Children chase seagulls
Birds hover overhead
Carried along with the breeze
People play … enjoying life
Others rest after a hectic week
Some immersed in their favorite read
Carefree feeling
Place to unwind
Absorb sun’s rays
To just be!
I stoop low
Spying a smooth peculiar shell
Purple hued edges
Catch my eye
I gather grains of polished sand
As they trickle past my fingertips
Praying
May the wind smooth and polish
My rough and jagged edges
May I be beautiful and useful
In Your sight
For Your glory!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Paula. Blessings to you and your family, Teresa
A good place to be!
It certainly is, Terry. One of my favorite places to be! Blessings to you & your family, Teresa
Very beautifully said.
Thank you, Vicki. Good therapy to write the poem too and to be in that environment. Blessings to you & your family, Teresa
Love this! We also love the water and boating, that’s where I feel so much peace.

You are so right, Myrna. By the water, I am at peace no matter what else is happening in my life or around me. Near the water seems to remind me of God’s beauty as He created such beautiful handiwork for us to enjoy. IF we pause, listen, and wait. Blessings to you & your family, Teresa
