sparkling dancing sea waves touch the shore with flowing magic of cobalt blue filaments that reflect the sky above oh endless the huge expanses of pristine shoreline and the jagged seaward cliffs where cormants and auks nest wild deep and cold oh restless the rising tide . . . a cool wind whips off the sea and gulls call the fishing pier lonely of fishermen this morn' boardwalks a vast emptiness foraging albotrosses glide then plunge into the sea sea waves crashing on weathered rocks in an endless rolling gentle foaming changes to wild thunder and yet serene the sea shore view to me I stayed with the crashing till the last rays of sunset that fringed the horizon then dipped and fell . . . and in the moonlight the shore is darkly elusive with hidden life and I drink the tranquility this mysterious vastness of endless sand and views and always in the background those unending waves caressing the sea shore . . . ___________________________ February 1, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/The Sea Shore Copyright Protected, ID 16-750-997-0 All Rights Reserved.

Hi Broken, how i do find peace within your words, sublime joy in the visions they do paint on the canvas of my mind. How gentle your words flow like the waters themselves. This is the serene dream my friend. One can step within your words and be at the heart of the vision seeing all happening before them. Congratulations on your placement in the contest, belated, i am sorry for that. A seven and a fave for this dream of a write my friend....Vlad.

Vlad, thank you for that beautiful comment, and congratulations, the 7, and fave ! I was disappointed at the time that this poem only got an HM in the contest, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally think it is tranquil and lovely ~
