Listening to the waves I feel peace throughout my body
I breathe
I listen to the sounds of the waves
And I’m brought into this present moment

Being near the water always soothes my soul
All my troubles are taken away by the waves
Somehow it makes things feel more manageable

The waves bring perspective
Of how big the world is
And my challenges change
And i breathe
Listening to the waves I feel safe

The sounds surrounding me
Seeming to wrap me in the sea of no cares
Daring to let hope into my heart
Stop drowning in the depths of my demons
Finding focus and freedom
From the suffocating sounds in my mind
Pressing beyond the pressures
To finally figure it all out already

I breathe
I listen to the sounds of the waves
And I’m brought into this present moment
And these moments become minutes I survive

I breathe and make it to the next
And the next
And the next

The waves wash my heart with peace
With courage
With strength
With hope
And I can keep going like the waves
Consistently creating with courage
Sharing the love and light within me
Making this moment matter
And the next
And the next

I breathe
I listen to the sounds of the waves
And I’m brought into this present moment
And the next
And the next
