The Friend of Thought

I make my way along the quiet deserted beach
Over to a special spot reserved for times like these
I sit down feeling all alone and a sudden sadness fills me
As if in a trance or under some spell
I begin to watch the waves carelessly tumble
Further and further towards me they come
Yet I slowly become oblivious to my surroundings
Slipping further away deep into my own thoughts
Retreating to a place where I seek a certain knowledge
Only my own thoughts to keep me company
But this makes me happy
I become filled with a tranquil contentment
Such a peaceful familiar place
Away from all existing problems and stress
I see life through much wiser eyes
In such a short time I have learnt so much
Not through long or hard work
But simply through generally accepting what was already known
Now I feel better than I ever thought possible
After learning what I did
Only a very short time ago
It all seemed hopeless and now how trivial it really is
Ever grateful for taking the time to listen to my thoughts
I slowly return to the real world
Happy to be back but sad to have left my thoughts behind
But then you can return to them any time you wish
They are always there and always will be
Never far away
Forever a most trusted and faithful friend
Certainly the best that I could ever hope for
Not ever to be compared
