    Heaven's Beach

     Heaven's Beach

    so very vast
    this inland sea
    whose width and depth
    release for me
    the smallness
    and fear of trying

    just be

    I could sit here
    eternal
    watching her waves
    wearing a prayer shawl
    of peace...
    peace

    be still

    this timelessness
    whispers so calm
    of acceptance
    healing and balm
    easing
    a heartache; a crying

    just be still

    this "heaven's beach"
    a haven found
    time breaks here
    on the very ground
    revealing
    a glimmer of heaven

    The wonderful use of metaphors,smooth rhythm and vivid imagery help the reader to visualize such a wonderful place. The ebb and flow to the words has a soothing effect as a person reads it.Well done!

    Thanks so much for taking time to read! I always love seeing what others have to say. This is one of my favorite pieces, so I am glad you enjoyed it.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
