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.
