Serenity

To sit upon wet sand, where the sea meets
                     And hear the soft waves, in constant motion
                     To see the sun rise in amber light
                     and feel its silence reflected on the ocean 
                     I'll watch feathered wings glide above their shade,
                     they give clairity to a sense of vastness
                     Bringing calm to this space I inhabit,
                     an  ambiance, as motion senenades,
                     where silence is welcome and peace sought
                     Though yesterdays and tomorrows,
                     will come and go
                     I can claim for one brief moment,
                     I was here, alone with the world
                     and its serenity still conscious of life's evanescence
