Water tower
There is a song by Jason Aldean called Water Tower and every time I hear it, it takes me back to the days when I would sit on the edge of Chelsea creek just wasting the day away wishing I could leave my town and never come back. It really takes me back. The hours I would spend by the water always had a calming effect on me. I would watch the tug boats if they were cruising by. I was by myself all the time. Time just seem to pass and before I knew it, it was time to go home. I love sitting by the water watching the waves go by, thinking about my problems or just hearing the waves beat against the rocks taking my troubles away. Those were the days of innocence. How much I wanted to get away from my town and be on my own and never come back.
I would spend time after school there or sometimes if I hooked school I would go there to get away. It was the only place where I could be by myself and not be bothered by anyone. It was my true solace place where I found serenity. I wish I could go back to that place but they have fix it up and now it is a little park. The place where I would sit on the rocks have been eroded away by the winter storms or just erosion. I find it still a place of solace and I wish I could return frequently but the travel is too far now that I am no longer in the town I grew up in.
