Voices.. chatter and noises
It's all I hear anymore
Worries and fears, struggles and fights
All over nothing that matters
Questions.. when the answers change nothing
Anxiety is high so I close my eyes
Take a deep breath then there
It's a cool breezy evening
Steam lifting from my cup
The sun setting beneath the sea
Leaving only it's remnant
Golden clouds fading into blue
The only sound..
Is waves reaching their limits
Seagulls flying in for the night
The slide of a tortoise returning to its nest
Take a sip.. yeah just right, bold coffee
Creamy and mildly sweet just like I like
What I wouldn't give to live here
I call it peace but some would say..
‘Happy Place’

Superb use of imagery to paint the scene.
Thank you!
We all need a place in our mind to escape to when the going gets tough. Your posted image is a beauty. The ocean can soothe . Your words here had me drifting to my favourite place in Devon UK.
Thank you
The mind, heart and soul all have a happy place. 😊
Very true. Thank you
