a pebble in the sand

watching the ocean 
whilst sitting in solitude 
I feel so tiny

I used to live near the ocean in Connecticut. Your poem brought me back to those happy early mornings at the beach before it got busy. The smells, sounds and size of the ocean are great to breathe in and help you to feel peaceful. I used to feel so tiny as well amoung it all. I'd love to put your poem in my memory box of Ct. times that were postive and gentle like your poem.

I am not much of an ocean person either, unless I'm fishing in it (lol). Thanks for your visit, S.O. :)
