Mare Pacis

Sea of peace.......

Mare pacis placidly reflects heavens glory,

in the still of a morning’s calm. 

Sol takes his throne, 

issuing the days edict of peace and warmth. 

Drifting lazily I contemplate a cumulous azure sky, 

making images in the firmament as they float by, 

a moment of time enjoyed, 

free of care, 

serenaded by a gull’s cry, 

the waves forever crashing the shore. 

A time frozen snapshot of something good, 

handcrafted as all creation works together in harmony. 

I steadily float to the shore, 

walking, 

I tread on a chilly grit of tiny shells, 

remnants of a mountains glory. 

This was a good day, 

natures symphony played, 

natures beauty displayed, 

natures unity made, 

this heart is filled brimfull.

lovely poem. i can really see the scenery you enjoyed and also feel what you had felt. it is sights such as these we were given eyes, and to express things like this we were given a tongue. beautiful.

Hi Ern, I hope all is well, truly there are wonders for all of us to behold and just be in awe of there majesty.

This poem is a beautiful reflection of the peaceful, harmonious moments in life. The imagery is so vivid, you can almost feel the waves crashing and hear the gull’s cry. It’s a reminder of how nature, in all its simplicity, can provide us with a sense of calm and contentment. The flow of words captures the serenity perfectly and makes you feel like you’re there, experiencing it all, Dave.

Thank you so much, I want to be at the beach right now, I went there in my mind, hopefully not alone but with my dear readers and friends who also feel the same.
