Sunlite Wanter Poet Pastoral

By the Sea

By the Sea

There is a cozy alcove by the sea
Where when I am bothered,
Imagination carries me.
The blue ocean’s gentle tide
Splashes easily there,
Its white foam whispers;
And
As I close my weary eyes.
Neath a stony slice of pinkish bluff,
The world and its worries wave away.
On a supple soft blanket, on the sand,
A puffy pillow at my back,
Songs of circling gulls, calming clouds drifting,
By the sea.

M. L. Kiser August 27, 2019 at 3:30 PM I do love the ocean, this takes me there, the scent of the saltwater, the breeze in my hair, the sun on my face, the gull's cry from above; beautiful, thanks for the mini-vacation.
