Oceanic Whispers

I walk at dawn, along a pristine beach,
feeling waves of the ocean touch my feet,
whispering that God is within my reach.
The curved horizon has my soul upbeat,
as space, water and earth entwine to teach
that grace ignites in us, magnetic heat.
My consciousness expands near the ocean,
whence bliss emotion throbs in slow motion.

By night the ocean melds with the vast void,
yet I hear the waves and sense its power
and gentling thought, that mind be not decoyed,
soul bathes in an ethereal shower.
No longer by cravings of ego toyed,
I become the sea that does empower,
core of my being with love, light and bliss,
that I too as monks exult ~ I Am This!

This is absolutely stunning and so serene and so well crafted! I love this form and your rhymes here too is so captivating! You’ve expressed yourself so well. Something about the ocean goes way deeper than we can think and youve shown that here through your word weaving. I really love that last line truly soul hitting! And “ i become the sea that does empower” what a powerful write! Thank you for writing. CONGRATULATIONS
