Calm Waves On Peaceful Seas

Calm Waves On Peaceful Seas							  
							  
Within Nature rests a rose scented breath
Its whispers a call against mortal death,
    When brother sun it tempts to rise and shine
	Sets dawn and morning light to this define,
	                        As sweet life meant to be,
							Calm waves on peaceful seas.
							
Within vibrant beats of romantic heart
Gasping echoes, sounding true love starts,
    By ones destined dream that often decrees
	Giving up harvesting fruits from greedy trees, 
	                        As sweet life meant to be,
							Calm waves on peaceful seas.
							
Within man's earthen plight, oft treasures lay
Among the shadows of sun's dying day,
    Begging love seeking souls to soon be found
	And born to heart as free spirit unbound,
	                        As sweet life meant to be,
							Calm waves on peaceful seas.

Rhyme, ( As Life, Love and Living was meant to be )

Note:
Looking back upon life's glowing mirror,
it casting images that tender heart so craves,
aghast at many things now so clearer
and praying deep, that something remembered saves.

I love this one, it's very tranquil to read and makes me think of the ocean, one of my favorite places. Had to "Fav", this one.
