To a Happy Place

To a Happy Place

To occupy my brain with the mundane
laugh at times aloud to nonsensical thought & Humour
to place a capital Where 1
would not expect
leads myself to a happy place
Contentment peace placidity
erasing irritations
I pause     think of a time and
times before
I would not have considered
pacifying my Self
Instead I bodysurfed a wave
up to a shore  rough with pebbles which by themselves
are smooth
With shells that in a different
mode of thought  would be
strung into a necklace but
instead they scratched my
chest
A memory of Hearson'''s
cove is what I have described
  before a cyclone when waves
came crashing onto
such a Shore
brought by Wind & Tide
Oh memory  Ah Memories
  lift me from the threat of
Sadness
To a Happy Place

  • Comment from author about the poem: Photograph is Hearson's Cove, near to where I went to high school in the Pilbara region of Northwest Australia. The only time I saw a surfable swell was a day before the cyclone hit.

    I just had to smile as I read this. Here's to all those happy places where we can find respite, if just for a while. Thank you!
