Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

It's Enough

This morning it’s enough to sit by the sea
Playing my fingers across the crest of the waves
And watch the sun blossom over the tops of the trees

To simply feel the breeze whisp past my tender cheek
The sun’s bare warmth take the chill from my breath
Hear the tune of each wave played at its peak

It’s enough each day for me when I smile in delight
As the grackle calls out in welcome to begin once again
And the dawn slips away past the mauve painted light

It’s blessings enough to carry it back home to replay
As I busy myself doing the things that I do
The peace of the sea enough to share as a buffet

Aditi Mishra May 30, 2020 at 1:07 PM I agree dear friend. Some times amid too many complexities it is good to be calm and observe the poignant beauty around us. It answers questions and blesses us with wisdom and peace to sail forth. :) Jeanne Mcgee May 30, 2020 at 3:48 PM Aditi, I love having you stop by and comment...our souls seem to feel similar things in our poetry.

Winged Warrior May 30, 2020 at 10:37 AM Lovely write my friend...like a tranquil breeze...best wishes...the Wingster :o) Jeanne Mcgee May 30, 2020 at 12:08 PM Mornings are one of my favorite times on the beach, which is still closed here but I found a private lookout to use...always lovely to see you here.

Vijay Pandit May 30, 2020 at 8:54 AM A soothing, comforting write, Jeanne--just like the beautiful nature it describes. Jeanne Mcgee May 30, 2020 at 12:06 PM Soothing was how it felt to sit by the ocean yesterday and photograph the waves along with penning this poem. Hope you are well my friend.

Caren Krutsinger May 30, 2020 at 7:04 AM You make your paradise sound like Shangri-La! I imagine it is, and am so glad. Is this your photograph too? Jeanne Mcgee May 30, 2020 at 8:32 AM Good morning Caren...yes, I only use my own photos unless PS supplies us one we are to write about. And I do live in a beautiful place...where this photo was taken. I discovered Melaque about 25 years ago and bought land to build on in 1999. After cancer I decided to come here for most of the year to live...best decision ever.
