I chatted with the sea today

I did not howl or cry

As I normally do

I just listened as the sea

Told me about her problems

And then I discussed mine

Nothing really new emerged

From our gentle discussions

But we both felt better afterwards

 

In a way I am lucky

As my home is near the sea

But if you live inland

Then streams rivers or lakes will do

Even a humble puddle

Feels better for a chat

I trust that this has helped
