A House By the Sea

I have this house by the sea
A hidden abode where I can be
Alone with the music of rushing waves
Kept in this seashell that simply gave
Me a taste of evasive solitude 
In a whispered sound ...it was so good.

"A heart at peace gives life to the body, 
but envy rots the bones. "  
Proverbs 14:20

James Inman Date: 3/20/2016 9:28:00 AM Cynthia, a gentle piece, but I'm wondering about the use of the word, "was," in the last line.
