Favorite Quote:
Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.


This place holds my soul.
The water crashes on the rocks
it contains stories untold.

The sand goes between my toes
it feels like the finest of all silk.
This place holds my soul.

The waves are mighty and bold,
threatening to swallow me whole.
It contains stories untold.

Thunder crashes and rolls
sending the sea into a blind fury.
This place holds my soul.
Even as this raging storm unfolds
it has an unexplainable beauty.
It contains stories untold.

I will settle down here, it is my goal
on these sandy, weathered shores.
This place holds my soul;
It contains stories untold.

I have loved the beach my whole life, and using the Villanelle poem style of writing, I figured I would write about something I love. Hope you enjoy!
