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
