Pier Gazing...

A Poem by Jamestown

Relaxing on the pier, deep in thought...

Pier Gazing...

As I sit on the Huntington beach pier mid-day,
with pen and paper sketching a beautiful ocean seen,
basking in the warmth of the bright sunshine and enjoying
a cool ocean breeze,

I am fixated on watching the tremendous waves,
crash violently to the sea shore, time and time again,
after a few minutes of viewing this incredible sight,
I lose myself in thought, as if to a state of hypnosis,

My mind is comparing the violent waves crashing to the earth,
over and over again to what us humans go through with our
problems on a daily basis,

I am completely in a trance, I see the effects of the waves
crashing in the same spot continuously, leaving a
substantial dent in the sand, and again think of the emotional,
dents we take in our lives with constant accruing problems,

As the waves are non-stop, sometimes it seems like our
human trials and tribulations are also non-stop and never ending,

Time has taken it's toll upon this peaceful day,
and day turns to early night,
The waves die down and the sea shore gets a break from the,
violent ambush,

As the sun sets, a soft gliding flow of constant sea water,
rolls over the large dent left in the sand and first smooths
it and then eventually completely erases it all together,

At that moment, I am fully aware of what God is teaching me today,
he is giving me a birds eye view of what he can do to our human problems,
if we ask him to help us and let him do work,

What a wonderful day pier gazing...

Nature is beautiful and the sea is one of God's most fantastic creations. I've spent a lot of years at the seaside during holidays when I was young. I was fascinated by the waves. Our live is indeed as the sea, the waves and what they create. Very well written, James. :) Rudi
