The Sea

THE SEA

Every time I look at the sea from the sea shore, I feel tranquility.  I can be surrounded by many, like people walking and children running or playing; yet I feel this calmness, as I sit and look at the sea.  The reflection of the glistening sun makes me reflect on my life, whom I become and what I must  change and do better.   The peacefulness and quietness give me a moment to reflect on all the people in my life.  Some I left behind, some came and left, some passed on and some remain.  It’s nice to think about them and how I treasure their memories.


               the blue sea makes me
                 reflect on people I love
                   how each mean to me

Sam Kauffman May 12, 2021 at 11:06 AM The strong sense of serenity in ocean waves and tides is hypnotizing and invites us to leave, for a moment, our chaotic world. Really nicely done, Marilene. Congratulations on your win and blessings to you! Sam Kauffman May 12, 2021 at 12:16 PM In my prayers! Marilene Evans May 12, 2021 at 11:59 AM Thanks, Sam. I need that serenity right now. I'm just overwhelmed with my chaotic kitchen counter full of paper work for my six classes. Ahh.. music pieces of my songs for my voice class, drawings I need to do for my drawing classes, essays I got to do ... Got to do them all this month ... classes end last week of this month.

Alexis Y. March 27, 2021 at 9:18 AM WoW! Marilene, What a good entry for the contest. I agree; sitting by sea fills the soul peace. It's such a tranquil setting, and it causes one to think( reflect on ) about the things that matter most. This looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest. Excellent job:-) Alexis Marilene Evans March 27, 2021 at 9:54 AM Thanks so much, Alexis!!! You're so so great in uplifting one's spirit. Have a great week-end.
