Another rainy day
Coming up from the ocean
Kissing my heart on the shoreline
Refreshed, waking up to a new life
Each grain of sand
Mends every broken part of me
Jellyfish stings
Seaweed strangling
Save me from my own insanity
Storming skies float above rapidly
Clouds forming distant memories
Wisp me off to sleep
Days come to pass
A sand castle made of glass
Sifting through time
My life still lies
Buried along the shoreline
Seashells whisper cool chiming winds
My ears now are nestled deep in the abyss
Waves sway gently
The sky above is rippling
Another rainy day
Creates an ocean once again
Swell up from the ground
Sweep me away
Revive me
Renewing, mend the broken parts of me
Once again.

I really like this. The picture you create is vivid and memorable. I like how you tied it in to how it cleansed you.

Very good imagery. I like the way you use a type of suspence in the piece up until the reveal of the rain as a kind of clensing experience in the end.
