Simple Peace

A wide expanse of fresh blue-gray, A subtle shift in hue at the horizon, Feathers of white foam line the shore, Footprints in blonde-brown sand, Breezes passing cool over waiting skin, Being inhaled through nostrils Grateful for the gift to breathe Another moment. Sun gently glowing – deciding not To blaze today, Deciding to be softly bright And invite the gazing eye To look upon it. A day of quiet pleasure at the ocean, To be framed in the mind, Held with the senses, And brought back when there’s a need For Simple Peace.
