Metaphors can be powerful to enable deep change and connections beyond our conscious awareness. Here's a poem reflecting on personal development using the metaphor of self as beach.
Waves gently lap
Caressing the beach
Offering gifts
Beautiful insights from the deep
Trees softly rustle
The sound of nature vibrates
Safe, familiar, yet different
Blue skies enrich sensations
Sighing winds cooling the heat
As sunshine lights the beach
Plodging feet enjoy new experiences
Exploring the mysteries below
Rock pools reveal new dimensions
Enlivening those who discover
Shifting sands mould around you
Supporting your weight and your shape
Enjoy, be curious, find what’s within you
Why is there reason to wait?
Your beach is there
Any day, any moment
You can discover its mysteries any time
All you need to do
Is to trust and go within
