Ions of the Ocean Birds of a Feather

Today upon awakening I heard Sweetie Bird, my parakeet tweet. I turned on the news! Although I do not live by the ocean in Riverside, I am addicted to the ocean as a powerful source of positive energy. The song was in my head all morning. So, I wrote it down as poetry turning it into a song to accompany the video story. This is not about me! It is about creating a time for meditation in this chaotic dystopian world on Earth in the year 2025. I used a lot of my photos and videos as well as my routine animation from my and wild imagination from my dreams. It is not about me! It is about humanity.

Ions of the Ocean

Birds of a Feather

Breathe in & Breathe Out

The waves undulate towards the shore.

I want to see the beach once more.

The sound of the seagulls above my head

As one lands by my feet and instead.

Of not flying away.

The seagull is sitting beside me today.

I share my chips with this beautiful bird.

The seagull responds by calling his friends to the herd.

They all sit around me in a circle of love,

To soothe my nerves

As they serve

The purpose of the healing ocean

To soothe the nervous notions

Ready to flow into a subconscious mind,

To be so kind

The seagulls meditate with me.

As I lay back on the sand,

On the mountainous desert land

We do not see the people walking by

Me and my seagull friend sigh

This is a moment in time.

To heal the body and mind

Of the life-giving neurons of ions

Flowing into my brain

To continue my sane

Circumstances of life

We are part of the light shining from the sun’s rays.

As we lay on the beach today,

I sat up to talk to my seagull buds.

They look me in the eye.

I sigh.

The ocean is a powerful source of positive energy.

Let me be.

Stay here forever as you can see.

Me and my seagull friends

Are as happy as can be.

The magic of the seagulls, the waves are mesmerizing friends

Of the cocoon of life of neurons and ions

Of science and creative universe

To disperse the light

To shine over the circle of seagulls still around me

As the sun shines so brightly,

As we breathe the salty air,

Without care

Let me be.

The light is so bright.

The waves cradle my restless spirit mind,

Pulling my worries out to sea,

Dissolving them in endless blue,

Until all that’s left is me.

The tension of pain releases into the ocean waves

The waves surround my toes.

My body

And the woes of yesterday float away into the caves,

Of the inner depths of time and space

My body of disgrace

Now it is full of grace.

And the spirits of despair have disbanded to another,

I feel the warmth of the sun.

Spreading through my body of life

Of energy spreading into a yellow aura from the sun

The seagulls remain the same.

Full of chips and remain calm,

As we lay back down on the sand,

To dream, to contemplate our fate,

As the seagulls stay in our circle of light on the land,

The beach

To reach

The light

So bright

Under the radiant sun, a pristine beach glistens.

The golden sands, whispering tales of tranquility.

A woman with striking hot, long pink hair reclines on the shore.

Her boho clothes flow freely in the gentle breeze.

The gentle lapping of waves harmonizes with distant cries,

crafting a symphony of serenity around her.

On the serene beach, a circle of seagulls gathers around the woman,

drawn by her gentle presence.

She extends her hand, initiating a tender exchange as the seagulls respond,

with affectionate nudges.

Her face radiates pure joy.

As she shares a quiet moment with her feathered friends,

The woman's eyes flutter open.

Her gentle blinks reflect a deep serene calm.

The beach stretches out before her, a symphony of sand, sea, and sky,

where seagulls dance on the ocean breeze.

The soft cries of the seagulls’ fade into the horizon,

leaving only the echo of peace.
