The soul of the sea

This morning I stopped by at the beach.
I stopped only for a very few minutes,
but long enough to draw a few very deep breaths.

Inhaling all the beauty of the morning sun,
the morning sun reflecting in the wavy sea
I inhaled the iodium, the oxygen.

But more important still,
I inhaled the energy, the power, the soul.
The soul of the sea was in my lungs

It diffused into my being
it stayed there and gave me courage
I enjoyed its energy as it brightened my day.
