sparkling  dancing sea waves touch the shore with flowing magic
of cobalt blue filaments that reflect the sky   above
oh  endless the huge expanses of pristine shoreline
and the jagged seaward cliffs where cormants and auks nest
wild   deep   and cold    oh restless the rising tide . . . 

a cool wind whips off the sea and gulls call
the fishing pier lonely of fishermen this morn'
boardwalks   a vast emptiness
foraging albotrosses glide then plunge into the sea

sea waves crashing on weathered rocks in an endless rolling
gentle foaming changes to wild thunder
and yet   serene the sea shore view to me
I stayed with the crashing till the last rays of sunset
that fringed the horizon then dipped and fell . . .

and in the moonlight the shore is darkly elusive
with hidden life and I drink the tranquility
this mysterious vastness of endless sand and views
and always in the background   those unending waves
  caressing
       the sea shore . . .

Hi Broken, how i do find peace within your words, sublime joy in the visions they do paint on the canvas of my mind. How gentle your words flow like the waters themselves. This is the serene dream my friend. One can step within your words and be at the heart of the vision seeing all happening before them. Congratulations on your placement in the contest, belated, i am sorry for that. A seven and a fave for this dream of a write my friend....Vlad.

Vlad, thank you for that beautiful comment, and congratulations, the 7, and fave ! I was disappointed at the time that this poem only got an HM in the contest, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally think it is tranquil and lovely ~
