The Tranquil Sea

I love to go to the tranquil sea a special place with treasures for me I walk the beach, feet touching the sand feeling the waves tickle as I stand I spot a beautiful blue starfish A sign of luck, I should make a wish I want to grab it, but leave it be Let it bring joy for others to see As I walk away, I see it smile I know saving its life was worthwhile I look back, see it wink and now gone I hope it has safely left, moved on I realize the lesson today To admire nature and walk away Time to head back from the tranquil sea Elated by what it gave to me 4/27/2020 Contest: Couplet - any theme, any length Sponsor: Dear Heart

Tania, i sure enjoyed reading this. I, too, love the ocean, and had an experience identical to this with a starfish. It was a much better choice to leave it to its environment and enjoy the rich memory of the moment. Congratulations on your win ~ John
