Healers Beach

The parking lot littered with cigarette butts, a takeout container, some stained coffee cups

Some folks are walking, some folks just stare

Some of them look like they just don’t care

Three of these guys Look like they’re on a mission

They have all the supplies they will need for some fishin.

A boat, some poles, a motor and bait

Off into the fog to catch the days weight

The old guy that comes with his goofy black lab. The man’s eyes on the ground for a stick he can grab

The dog loves the water so that’s where he’ll go. He goes in with excitement chasing every throw

The old man repeats it again and again

You can tell the dog hates it when the fun has to end

everyone’s here for the same exact reasons

their thoughts and their lives changing just like the seasons

This beach has a power that some are just finding

it can straighten out paths that are violently winding

It can take away tears, it can overcome fears ,

It’s a place you can go when you need a few beers

Dinner alone? The beach is the place

you can go get some takeout and then stuff your face.

If you’re angry or sad or deeply frustrated

Beach might have answers to questions awaited

So when life has you questioning, just what you should do. Head down to the beach, that’s where I spend time too.
