Soulful

gazing at waves on a serene seashore…
                       saffron-hued sapphire foam rolling away, 
                                                  I feel ~
                                         an ocean of peace, 
                                        an ocean of tranquility
                                            surrounding me ~ 


            Listening to the strumming sonata of a chartreuse waterfalls 
                          descending from a majestic mountaintop,
                               my body shivers, my heart quivers,
                                                  I feel~
                                   a soothing breeze calm me
                                a blessing from the Omnipotent

                                                              
                      A song from my past, melancholic and wistful, 
                  reverberating in my existence, a feeling of oneness, 
             a halcyon power of charming winds and waves into calmness                  
                                                   I feel ~ 
                                         a pure, unfailing bond 
                                          with the eternal Soul.
