Washed Away-
She sat in her car, mesmerised by the movement of the ocean.
It felt as if each crashing wave summoned a deeper thought about the events that had led her to this place.
The sense of devastating loss lightened.
A slight breeze welcomed her as she stepped out of the car.
Life felt simpler the second she smelt the beach below.
She walked towards the ocean in a trance, as if it had an invisible rope, pulling her closer.
Walking into the water, her body willingly handed control over to the waves.
Her mind was quiet and her broken heart was at peace.
