The Sea Poem by Phil Soar

I sat looking out to sea and watched the motion of the waves
Its soothing nature lapping at the very edge of me
The breaking sound of water on the beach far down below
Made me realise
That it was not the time to go

Too much beauty lay before me, spread for miles around
I sat there, mesmerised, by the very nature of the sound
My eyes took in the scale of it, with optical review
More beautiful than I had thought
More impressive than I knew

The thoughts that earlier had filled my mind with nothing good
Were distant now, registering calmness as they always should
Informing me that everything around me has its place
The soothing sound, the ebb and flow
The wind that touched my face

I sat on the edge of nothing, balanced on the edge of time
Knowing that the place I love, was never far behind
The thought of missing out on this, all too much to bear
Missing out on beauty
Of never being there

And so I moved in silence, and taking in the sight
Knowing that my sleep would be much better on this night
No poltergeists, no random thoughts
No time to feel repressed
A feeling now impressed on me
The feeling that I'm Blessed
