Staying by the sea, now at sunset With the light slowly fading into greyness And the waters lying quiet A peace fills me as never before Dismal fears barred entry into the soul Mind freed of all disquietude. Through the soft whisper of waves, A low sweet melody finds its way. Listening to the gentle sibilance of the sea, A new insight suddenly dawns on me~ None but we are to blame For all our angry bickering With all swirls and whirls underneath, Is an abstruse calm in the deep. In this continuum of flux Is a permanence – abiding and perpetual. Staying by the sea at sunset With its still waters glimmering in twilight And the stray clouds straggling in the sky, My soul undulates with the slow rhythm of waves And in me fills a calm submerging all vexations And breaks a light, luminous and clear A glimpse of a scintillating radiance – ethereal!

Staying by the sea at sunset With its still waters glimmering in twilight. The waves of the ocean have a tendency of comforting and soothing the spirit because there is no more peaceful spot than beside the water. Best of luck with the contest.

May the waters rolling up to the pier always focus us clear. Peace and Tranquility, Gershon
