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 Tercet form (3 line with aba,, cdc, efe etc rhyme) Honorable Mention Brians Choice 11

I love going to watch the early morning colors...sometimes getting going out the door in time is the problem!

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. :)

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.

A soothing, comforting write, Jeanne--just like the beautiful nature it describes.

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.

You make your paradise sound like Shangri-La! I imagine it is, and am so glad. Is this your photograph too?

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.
