A Flow of Serenity

The Atlantic Ocean’s tide is ever flowing I listen to it in my cottage by the sea And at night so peacefully I sleep just knowing I’ll hear it in the morning; it’s a guarantee Few things in this life can be taken for granted Perhaps only faith and nature’s constancy But the sound of the sea is somewhat enchanted Always offering a sense of serenity I’ve chosen to dwell here for the rest of my days It allows me to cast all my worries aside There’s a hope in my heart these tides forever raise A joy that erases every tear I have cried The sea speaks of a power beyond that of man A reminder that all things are part of God's plan

Very powerful write,Carolyn.I am really captivated by the philosophy.Lines are also nicely penned.Thank you for commenting on my poem 'Peace of Ignorance'.What I have portrayed in the poem is absolutely true.She still lives happily with tumor in her brain.All the predictions of the doctors were wrong.I feel doctors and medical sciences are sometimes wrong.God's decision is above all.I have experienced many.Have a nice day!

Visualize the sea coming in and bringing you health, on the tide, as it goes out see it taking your pain away, from inside, see your body as shining and new, see it reborn, as fresh as the dew, we want you in health to abide!!! johnson will not let you slide, honey dew...

as a guy who moved away from Florida once, I truly understand the goodness of this write. This is why I am moving my butt back down to Florida next month. (and my family's butts:)

This is just beautiful, my friend. I find, too, that just standing looking out to sea relaxes me and usually makes me feel things aren't quite so bad
