If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.

Ode to My Beach
I am watching the sun burst
through the nighttime blanket, pink and
sliver scales dancing over the ocean.
I am rising with the tides, days like blinks,
and study the constancy of ocean waves
moistening the rising auspicious heat.
I am digging my toes in the hot sand
and find later in the evening the cool
refined crystals feel like grains of silk.
I am walking in the summer rain,
holding my daughter's hands, and
we each feel and give the same peace.
I am swinging on the aged porch swing,
knowing how I have come home to
breath in the settled air of my life.
I am creating my future with words
and know it is not cloudy anymore
in the four chambers of my heart.
I've read Rilke, and to share my thoughts to you "Ode to My Beach lemme quote him,
ReplyDelete"When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come,
I go to the sea,
and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds,
cleanses me with its noise,
and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused."
Yes, this is how I feel too. Since my beloved left me, this is the only memory I cling on: our meeting place. Oh, how I loved that beach..."
