Standing By the Ocean

It's a quiet night
Warm, without a breeze
Stars descend slowly
Into the calm sea

Love the serenity this write evokes, Jim. There's no place I feel more introspective than at sea. Great quatrain! Love, Carolyn

Hey Jim; I can see myself looking out over the ocean on a calm evening with gentle, white-capped waves lapping at the shore, and Orion slipping behind the invisible line of the horizon. Very pleasant, indeed... ~<><
