The Goodness Of The Ocean Poem by Richard Lackman
The Goodness Of The Ocean
What is it about a pond or lake or ocean
That attracts us so and sets in motion
Feelings of serenity and peace
So that common worries seem to cease
The attraction must be more than just the beauty of a shore
As that's a scene that we've all seen a thousand times before
There must be deeper meaning that inspires us to go
And walk along a sandy beach or watch a river flow
Perhaps the water acts as a connection
To our deeper thoughts seeking direction
And though the water may be calm or rough
We perceive in it a truth and that's enough
To re-invigorate our spirit and to help us see
The beauty which surrounds us and which helps to set us free
From stress and strife as there can be no worries or commotion
While lying peacefully beside the goodness of the ocean.
A delightful read, Mr. Lackman! You and I write very similarly in style, and I can really connect with your work. Thank you so much for this relaxing poem.
A beautiful poem, So calming just to walk along a quiet beach and just listen to the wash of the waves.
Lovely poem Dick, water is so often very inspiring, maybe it is an unconscious reminder of our origins.
