Breathe
This weekend we have had a wonderful time in Margate. Whilst we were there we dropped into The Turner Contemporary to be part of the audience for The Landing Place poetry event. There were some talented poets performing. The theme was the seaside to coincide with the photographic exhibition at the gallery. It inspired me to write a new poem about being at the coast.
Breathe
And now breathe
Relax inhale
Exhale
Fill the lungs
With pure
Life giving oxygen
Luxuriate in the ocean
White washed waves
Bathing the beach
The golden border
Between chaos and peace
Loose yourself
In dreams of the sea
Purify the soul
Discard the detritus
Of 21st Century living
Distil virtuous from vicious
Dig deep seek an ataraxis
Breathe
Inhale
Let yourself be free
Escape
On this the edge
Of heaven
Where sand meets the sea.
I can feel the invigorating clean air and peace! Love your positive energy!
