I love the ocean, it is so soothing to the soul always.

Oceanside Walking

I was walking along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
I was there because I had got the notion.
Walking along the edge with the waves coming in and out.
Was so soothing to me without any doubt.

Later in the day the winds started roaring.
The current of the tides was then coming in soaring.
I put my footprints in the sand.
Just as that painter did on his ocean  land.

Sailboats were out on the water.
Fishing boats were getting their's to slaughter.
I saw the sea gulls away up high.
Soaring into the land of nigh.

Peacefull times, prayerful times, just all times.
To be by the ocean land and seek the lines,
To a poem presented for freedom in life.
Takes me back to the good times without strife.

If life is passing you by too quickly as you think it is.
Try going to the ocean and seeking time to yourself and this,
Will be one of the greatest adventures you take in this life.
Peace, love of God, heaven above, all come to you to give.
To others whom you meet along the way to help them live.

Many opportunities I had to visit the ocean.
Vacation there in the home of others who gave the potion
For me to stay awhile and enjoy the waves and stratosphere.
I surely appreciate invites to merely go with the atmosphere.

Lois,

Such a wonderful picture you paint of the mighty ocean. I was fortunate enough for a brief time live two blocks from it. Love the smell of salt air.

Lois I appreciate this poem because I can indentify with it being an Navy veterans and I love being one with the ocean or the great seas, so consoling. Water is life and that is something we have in abundance and do all to preserve it. Thank you.

I love the ocean and found this to be very soothing. Made me remember a trip I'd taken once. This tells me I need to hurry and make that trip again.

My best to you always!

Now who could love the ocean, just in & out, breaking waves & swaying palms, sand blowing in your face, Such a boring, boring place...ED (now you know better than to think this is anything but humor, right)
