Photo Challenge #2 (a bit late)

I sit on the dock and listen, 

the sounds of nature soothe my aching heart. 

The depth of the ocean is deep, 

as is the distance that sits between us. 

The vastness of the sky is overwhelming, 

as is the heartache felt when I think of what could have been. 

The birds in the distance, 

a reminder that there is hope, 

the gentle waves of the water are a sign that 

calm is near. 

The dock, which is steady, an anchor.

Here I sit, listening to the sounds of nature, 

the sounds that bring a gentle, calming peace where none existed a moment before. 

I sit on the dock and listen, the sounds of nature soothing my once aching heart.
