Notes About The Poem

In Awe of the Sea

"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar"
   "Lord  Byron"

I watch the clouds float over the blue sea
And see the sunset begin to form
The horizon becomes a red-threaded line
I enjoy the waves as they come ashore
The moon has risen in the North East
As ships at sea are seen in silhouette
The stars appear, and the night is met
I feel the warmth when the night winds sigh
As the waves of the sea flow towards me
They quickly vanish into the sand
I am in awe of what I see and hear
I hear the sound of the breakers roar
To be alone on the vast seashore
A place of serenity that seems eternal
Where thoughts become serene moments
And all of life's troubles feel small
