Dear Body of Mine by Ryan Shank-Rowe

                  I have pretty much decided to accept my destiny.

                  I have accepted that although my body is not under my control, my 

                  mind is my own and infinite.

Dear Body of Mine

Dear body of mine,

  How sneaky this destiny, so twisted.

I see rear view tricks

  excited to stir up chaos.

Little do you know about the driver,

   intimately trained to out pace your moves.

The trail is far stronger than the track.

Feeling the Ocean by Sasha Rainer

 I wrote this poem while visiting my favorite place- Bethany Beach in Delaware. . Located by the ocean, this little town is so happy and the life there is so laid back! Some people swim or exercise, some people bike, and some like to walk by the splashing ocean waves. I like to stare at glistening water, listen to the whispering waves and soak into my thoughts about life stories. The picturesque streets of Bethany Beach are worth seeing. Each house has a unique design, yet there is a harmony of different styles and colors describing the beauty of the beach life.

Feeling the Ocean

Look at stunning sunrise,

Look at moves of the waves

With its charming fine size

Healing beauty soul craves.

Ocean moved the heart strings,

Opened mind for good hopes.

Carrying tunes under wings,

Glided worry- free slopes.

Kaavish Kapoor

The place that most speaks to our soul is longing to teach us how to become our most alive self. The details of the real beach are calming to me and really open my eyes away from life's struggles. Every wave lasts but a second. Real troubles are similar. Rather than spend time worrying about matters out of your control try to notice the lovely  movement, sounds and people surrounding you. Too much determination to remove the wave impacts your ability to live in the moment. Plain and simple. Relax and promise yourself that you'll enjoy the beach instead of staying away because of the waves.
