What a lovely poem! Love seeing the ocean (this natural, raw water) having the power to wash away and cleanse the soul’s burdens.
Thank you Tessa. Glad you liked this poem. I like being at the ocean because it does cleanse me when I am down.
The shortness adds so much! The sense of freedom so palpable. thank you.
