Your beach

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
