Thanks Charles – yes, if you stay long enough on the beach you become almost hypnotised by the sounds and sight of the water (as long as there aren’t too many humans around )
The photo is splendiferous. It is so true that the sea soothes stress away. I love the image of the rain splitting into rainbows. That is perfect. I must go down to the sea again….
It is an interesting photo Selma which I took about a year ago – the cloud like look above the water is actually the smoke from a bushfire over at Fraser Island (which is just across the way from us – but you can’t see the land because it is too far away over Hervey Bay) – smoke is great for photos. Go for a swim Selma
thanks Graham – the poem actually started because of that video of the Charge Group (run) that you posted – the first stanza was to be about music changing moods but then I changed it to the ocean to fit in with the other two (and because I was listening to all the sounds on the beach – the sizzle of the waves meeting the sand etc.,). I bought their album on itunes – love it – thanks again for the intro!
There is nothing like the sights and sounds of the ocean to remove even the strongest stress…..love the photo too.

Sounds like a soothing Summer. Enjoy.
I will Martin
Soothing, calming photo, Gabrielle. What a lovely day, I could just run and jump into your sound waves, lol!
haha – thanks adeeyoyo
This has the rhythm of waves – makes me want to head off to the beach (but we’re not having such wonderful weather down here)
We just had the one day of sunshine (today it’s raining again) so had a lovely swim in the morning when the tide was high

that photo Gabe… I could just dive into it. And the words… they roll like waves.

great feeling to these haiku, Gabe, now if Sydney would just warm up!
thanks Mark – the weather is psycho at the moment (I had a jumper on last night and was swimming the day before!)
I’m on my way for the bbq!
I’m heating it up right now Benedicte – haha
What a serene meditation.
Thanks Aletha
