The Ocean is Part of the Healing

The Ocean is Part of the Healing

The crashing of the oceans waves
drown out my beating
heart.
My feet in the grainy sand
stop me from feeling
so empty.
The gentle saltiness of the water
numbs the entire
heartbreak.
If only for a little while. 
The ocean is part of the healing

Nice imagery in your poem, makes me feel like I am at the beach. No worry nor care, as I walk along the foamy waters' waves. Yes, the ocean does heal ...for awhile!! Thanks for sharing, Zep
