Ecstatic Poetry


Poem Artwork

 

 
 
 
A lovely alcove 
of sea grape leaves 
formed an arc 
which draped across 
the stairway 
to Paradise Beach
 
This was the 
perfect antidote 
to a stressful and 
arduous week 
 
David and I 
breathed a sigh of relief 
as the ocean rocked 
and cradled us in its 
soothing, therapeutic energy
sound of the surf 
although a bit rough 
was just wonderful
 
We ambled along 
the more deserted portion 
of the shoreline 
dipping our feet into 
the crisp refreshing 
Atlantic current
 
To our delight 
a flock of sandpipers
whimsical little birds 
danced about in the tides 
for their lunch
 
Relaxed and at peace 
the Ocean peeking 
over our shoulders 
We blew a kiss 
and waved goodbye

Thank you dear poets for taking the time
To comment on the poem, I truly appreciate it.

Dear Ron, Yes, the seashore is indeed a timeless place. Ideal for relaxation and inspiration. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.

Dear John N. Yes, there's only One. There's only Oneness. One giant collective Self.

Dear John D. Yes, Florida is delightful, and the ocean is a healing balm. Truly lifts the spirit. Wonderful to know that you and your wife lived here.
The bird life In Florida is different from New York where I was raised. It always happily surprises me when I see a flock of Ibis sauntering across an ordinary road.
But I do miss the mountains too and it's heady elevations. I am glad you enjoyed my poem.

Wonderful poetry! My wife and I have lived in Florida for most of our adult lives. The beach has always been close by, less than an hour by car. Sandpipers and pelicans are among our favorite birds. I love catching them on camera, and they always provide fantastic natural entertainment. The sounds and smells of the sea and sand are the best therapy, much better than any gym or specialist office. Our next two vacations involve ocean voyages. What could be better? The mountains are lovely, but the mountains do not move. I rest my case. Amen!

that what becomes the bird is the one that has the sky turn to the sea.. and never say goodby...details are everything in this but perhaps a glass of wine to enhance thine feet our wine like....

Made me feel like I was there. Painted a word picture of a tranquil day at a place that is so timeless that it has a way of relaxing even the reader who wasn't there with you.
