Before an autumn sea

 

I stood before an autumn sea,

my thoughts so far away

Along a windy, winding coast

so much in disarray

 

I felt the echoes of my life

reach out across the sky

In melodies of simple days

now slowly passing by

 

A hectic world had staked its claim,

the rush was more than planned

I needed just a little time

out here upon the sand

 

And now that I have found my place

I cannot disagree

My heart and soul belong right here

before an autumn sea

Hi there my Friend~

Melodic flowing in a gentle tune, your rhythm is great, the reader feels it as a smooth wave. I love Autumn, I love your Autumn sea, to free yourself and find it again as You merge and bond with your sea. lovely work.

You are welcome :>

I thought you really dug deeply in the first three stanzas. The fourth stanza doesn't seem to have as much oomph to it but it is certainly fine. Overall a pleasant and enjoyable read.

Thanks so very much. It does seem that way, almost like I worked too hard and then just wanted it over with. Could be, I have caught myself doing that before.

You belong by the Autumn sea...your musings have taken you here; and as your hectic life becomes slower and more difficult; it is the right place for you... a lovely rhyme, and flows gently like a stream.
Best, B

I really like the ryhme scheme of this poem. It has such a smooth flow to it. And it dances with color and emotion. Very nicely done.

Just so lovely.. the theme, the thoughts, the sound, the structure
There is a serenity that is so beautiful.
And in the last two lines, the contentment that comes with acceptance and understanding.
Wonderful poem

Both rhyming and imagery are excellent in this one. Perhaps autumn here symbolizes middle age, when we can look back on the "simple days." As one ages, though, those days cease to pass slowly. Right now, I'm in the midst of a horse race.

I know what you mean, everything is a blur to me anymore. Blink and another day has passed. Thanks again John to the read and comment.

We should definitely have a mute button for the world. Or at the very least a pause button, where we can just leave the shot and go play in our nice, clam happy place.
I blame the cost of living. Everything has went up, including noise 😊

Yes sir, all of those things would come in handy but even ear plugs are too expensive anymore. Thanks so much Lorry
