Beach State Of Mind
by Ryan Spence
When you stand in the sand
And look out to sea
Is it the end of the world that you see?
Is the horizon the distance to reach?
When you dive in and swim from the beach
Or instead of the end
Do your eyes see the start
Of an unknown adventure
That stirs up your heart
One that’s not easy, where grit is required
But one that could give you the life you desire
A life full of purpose
A life that’s fulfilled
Where dread is replaced by incredible zeal
A life where you have everything that you need
A life that once seemed an impossible dream
The choice is all yours
Will you take to the waves?
As the old saying goes, fortune favours the brave
Or will you stay stood, with your feet in the sand
And wonder, “what if, I had taken my chance?”.
