Fall into the sea's hypnotic rhythm;

Ripples in the distance, mesmerising;

Gentle swells of waves rolling in;

Breathing deeply in and breathing out again.

The ocean spills into crescent moons;

On a smooth canvas of sand and shells;

Before pulling away with a gentle sigh,

Back into the sea again.

Feel the tonic of salty air within;

The vital energy of sea, air, light and wind;

At one with nature where it all begins and ends;

Breathing deeply in and breathing out again.
