Poison only tastes like poison until..
Started taking inspiration from the poem 'Poison tree' by William Blake, ended up with a poem that loosely (at most) resembles a vial of poison (it's the thought that counts, right?). #poem #poetry #blog

What I learnt from years of sitting by the sea
Why do we love going to the beach, sitting in the sand for hours, listening to the crashing waves? What is it about the brackish waters that make us forget everything and realise the meaning of 'living in the moment'? Do people who say they can spend their entire lives on the beach really mean it?

We feel the calmness because we are like hurricanes, like whirlpools, and the waters provide a serene complement to ourselves, despite ourselves.
