Beyond the Breakers

Here on the shore, no voices spoil my peaceful time of early morn. He comes to beckon where sands roil on pristine beach as tides are born. I call to calm the wind and sea with victory of a rising sun. Stirring the silence, he waits for me to wash in waves before days done. He guides me to his ocean deep where blues and greens blend holding hands. We laugh and watch the dolphins leap. Then dive to rest on silky sand. There on the ocean floor, I leave my every worry, stress and care. We rise to surface where we weave our hopes and dreams, tomorrows shared. Caressing salted skin, we sleep here on the shore, no voices spoil. Then out of water, blue oceans weep; waves crash with dreams where harsh sands roil.

Your poem has a very serene quality, Rhonda, and I wish we could leave all of our worries on the ocean floor. When we are at the sea, the cares do seem to fade away. Congratulations on your win!
