What Gives Me Peace?
The Serenity of Nature’s Watery Embrace

Closing my tired chestnut eyes
escaping my mundane world,
I conjure up
the most serene marine Eden,
my artist vault can envision.
🌊🐬
Music of the ocean’s
gentle waves,
rolling up to greet
the peachy golden grains,
smooth as the finest of silks.
🌊🐬
Listening to the rhyme
of the seafoam’s froth,
a melody that washes away
the invisible worries whirling
in my manic mental mind.
🌊🐬
I envision playful
dolphins in hues of azure,
leaping and dancing
at water’s glistening edge,
whispering words
of harmonious happiness,
splashing away life’s troubling uncertainty.
🌊🐬
Brushing myself into the
sultry tropical waters,
anointing away my fears,
turning my head
to sun’s spotlight
scorching the ocean’s runaway,
soothing my doubt’s echo.
🌊🐬
Breathing in the salty
aroma of the sea,
caressing my porcelain milky skin,
a balm to calm my being.
🌊🐬
This is what give me peace,
when the world’s chaos
roars ugly visions at me.

This exudes peace. Beautiful poem.
Great poem Daphne. The ocean can be very healing ‘balm’ - that’s for sure! ☺️
Gosh this was soooo blissful! Loved your poem!
It does portray a slice of heaven.
Lovely visions to fall to sleep to.
Nothing like an ocean view or just sand, wind and water somewhere.
