I sit in solitude
In mind and space
Surrounded by blue hues
of sea and sky
And the glinting of a brilliant sun.
Thoughts slowly ripple through my mind
Like the gentle lapping of the trickling waves
The horizon glimmers on glassy sea
It lies far away,
Way beyond my reach and imagination
The calming sea sounds wash over me
Cleansing my mind from stresses
I breathe deeply, gently
Calm and warmth embraces
The mind and soul cleared
Refreshed
Alone in my thoughts
And with these sounds
I am almost kidnapped
by this solitude and beauty
Sounds of life intrude
A siren seeps through the bliss
An airplane soars overhead
The needs of the day
That lies ahead are calling
So I reluctantly escape
These captivating clutches
Assuaged in the knowledge
That it is I who leaves
And not this place
Beautiful poem and image, and your new blog design fits it perfectly xx
ReplyDelete@Looking for Blue Sky: Thanks so much. It was supposed to be a brisk walk I was on but I was kidnapped by this perfect moment! The new blog design happened by accident. I was only window-shopping really! xx
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your poem. Way to go for your photograph, looks great.
ReplyDelete@Bright Side of Life: Thank you. It is a very simple photograph as I wanted it to portray what I was seeing... the hues of blue as the sea almost blended with the sky. Very difficult to find the right words to portray the beauty of this stunning moment though! xx
DeleteThe sea has everything - solitude, wonder, hope, anticiation, beauty, motion, .... I love your picture and your poem.
ReplyDelete@Midlife Singlemum: Thank you. And I love the words that use to describe the sea. So apt, and exactly what I witnessed that day.......xx
