#17 If only

S.O.L #17 out of 31



If only.....
I slowly strolled on the sandy beach
by myself, all alone
Far, far away 
from the chaos of home.


Embracing the sun’s arms
wrapped around me.
Deep blue ocean
as far as I can see


Collecting the sounds...waves lapping
seagulls flapping.


Breathing in the salty sea air
letting the wind gently touch my hair


Slowly, I reluctantly open my eyes……..






And finishing making dinner.

  2. I love the yearning for a relaxing environment away from all of the obligations we face daily. The sensory details are so spot on for me as I want to go there too. Thank you for taking me a way for a minute. Reading this was a brain break for me ❤️
