Dolphin Races

Sitting on deck Sails in check The sun falls from the sky So many colors as the sun says good bye Rocking upon the waves gently as can be Watched the sun kiss the sea Over yonder a dolphin keeps lazy pace Think more for the company than the race Hearing the waves break against the bow Never more alive than I am now Purples orange red and pink Opens my soul to the brink Peace does abide These waves I ride Far from the rushing tide Solitude , lonely , yet so alive beautifully perfect for what I did strive Looking for peace of mind Came all this way Just to find It was in me all the while Made me smile Found what I was seeking Had to head home now for my boat was leaking No fear New hope was here New peace of mind Myself was who I did find

Hello William. I found your poem surfing around. It is so peaceful. It would be enjoyable to illustrate with watercolors. The ocean is a great healer. I lived near the Atlantic ocean for years, it was my 'search my soul' place too. Your last 3 lines are my favorite, but your 2 lines about the dolphins are a close second I'm glad to have found your poem. It was lovely.
