This is the place

To rest and relax

To feel the light breeze

And the suns warmth

To be

The restless waves hug and kiss

The patterned rocks and sheltered cove

For a brief moment a low flying cormorant races the ferry

Then we are back to the calm of the sea

Calling to me

Hear we lie and listen to the rhythmical waves

Feeling the earth beneath our shapes

In soporific slumber we are our souls

Surrendering to eternal peace

I feel I’m a mermaid drying my tail

Small rock pools glisten and sparkle in the breeze

And I long to float on the water

To frolic and laugh with my friends in the sea

To be

Free

To be me

The pale blue of the sky

White clouds on the horizon

The sea a sparkly aquamarine

This is a Cornwall I could get to know

I dreamt of this mesmerising beauty

This still small place of calm

Healing balm
