This morning as I walked out into the sunlight
And felt the morning sun against my back,
I turned, looked-up into the clear blue sky.
Listening to the stillness about me
And remembering I am on vacation.
Having purchased a return ticket,
Soon it will be time to go Home.
For now enjoying the sunlight
In my mind, pictures of friends and family
Amidst the joyous sounds of the morning,
Awakening to a new day.
Again the morning sun’s warmth
And surrounding stillness pull at me;
Softly tugging, calling me to dip into the Ocean.
I hear the inner refrain: Refresh yourself,
O spiritual traveler, rest from the cares
And struggles of this world;
Go for a swim, we are waiting,
This Ocean is your lasting Home.

That was beautiful Stewart! The ocean is the most soothing place I think I’ve ever been. Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation! 🙂
The ocean has always been my favorite vacation spot as well.
