Fountain of Youth

Drove down to the Belmar, New Jersey beach a couple weekends ago and walked the boardwalk for a nice chilly sun-infused workout and then did some reading as I watched the surf crashing down upon the sand from behind that
welcomed windshield warmth.


It was so beautiful compared to this
nightmare snow
we've been dealing with! 


Oh, and of course I had my gigantic D&D
coffee Coolatta with me! A weekend treat,
what can I say!

It's really something to hear that water

come pounding in. It just gives off such a comforting feeling doesn't it?? Feels like home. Well it does for me anyways.

And it made me remember something I wrote a while back. I was standing close to the waterline at the far end of a park in
South Amboy, New Jersey as the calmness
of the water was greeting me
with a warm hello.


It's weird, but sometimes when I read a page
of words I've written, that they
somehow leap right off the page
and then psychologically place me
somewhere else in time as I read...
that's weird right??? LoL

And it's also pretty neat at the same time!








Fountain of Youth

Like a magic potion, an elixir of life

 Wave upon wave anointing you
  With it's healing powers

Tiny whitecaps rolling in, such a soothing sight

  Then mesmerized completely
   By a symphony of numbing sound

    For hours and hours...

Inhale so deep,
 Salted lungs now filled with pure exhilaration

  Followed by a cleansing exhale

   Ridding you of all your inhibitions

    And heightening your love
     For everything under the sun

Awakening a new-found trust

 For something that's been lost for so many years

  That strength within you
   To live your life without compromise

    And leaving behind everyone else's visions

     Of what you should have become...

Perpetual liquid lapping upon the land

 It's a never ending luxury, this fountain of youth

  Falling under it's calming spell
   Is such a simple & easy thing to do

Watching anxiety and worrisome fears run for cover

  It's what you've come here for, a starting over

   A revitalized confidence has given you proof...

Soft sunlight upon your skin

 And a healthy breeze
  Combine to complete this wondrous scene

   While whitecaps continue to pour in

    Then embrace the waiting shore

You stand there in amazement

 You stand in awe of such a life giving force

  Now fully cleansed of harmful doubts

   Truly feeling stronger
    More bolder than ever before...

Aligning planets, rolling tides

 Answers are found within your motion

Sustaining life, a sanity truly unbroken

 It's a healing source in every way

  These many miles of sand

   And endless amounts of churning ocean...

Forever hold your breath... and feel the love!
