Finding Peace

Finding Peace

Standing at water's edge

As the sea laps at my feet.

Beauty reaching my soul

As the tranquility

Washes over my body

Like a wave

I am at Peace

You have a great ability to find peace in simple things. I need a bit more than a rippled wave across my feet. I find that that I need quiet. I have learned to despise sounds that come across to me as noise. I am a hearing aid wearer and the ability to tune out abrasive noises has spoiled me.

[Willard Wells]

Raj I am very sorry. Apparently when I first joined I missed some reviews. As I re-wrote this today I realized it. Thank you for your kind words and reading and hopefully my re-vision works

You captured the moment just as I felt it the first time I stood at the ocean's edge, it was an event that reached into my soul and remained there to well up every time I stand at the waters edge for evermore. Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you found a memory within my work.

I love the thought behind this "peace" brings, (pardon the pun) The image it invokes in so few words.

Sounds as though you enjoyed it and I cannot ask for more in a review. Thank you. If you continue to stroll my words, you will find the hard dark side.

The ocean is so beautiful and it always induces peaceful feelings. Too bad the sand comes with it in most cases.

[Willard Wells]

The sand is only a bother going, coming and standing on the beach. In the water it is a welcome feel as opposed to jagged rocks. It's all a matter of perspective and expectations. hahaha

[Willard Wells]

And by the way thanks for reading and commenting. I was on a mission and forgot the thanks.

[JayceeC]

Oh the thanks is understood. I'm at the hospital with my husband. He had his first knee surgery yesterday. .so it may take me a bit to get to all my read requests.

[Willard Wells]

Don't worry if I have any more. Your husband and family come first and second and third. My best to your husband and your family and I wish him a peaceful night of sleep. God bless.

[JayceeC]

I always have found great peace around water and the ocean beaches are one of my favorites. Thank you for reading and commenting.

[Coyote Poetry]

I love the ocean. I hope to see her one more time and you are welcome.

[Willard Wells]

I hope you get your wish, but the nice thing about the ocean is once you have seen it you can always close your eyes, take a deep breath and feel the sea breeze and see the waves in your mind. Peace Out.

Re-work or not it still holds it's beauty. Awesome photography by the way... where are these pictures from?

[Willard Wells]

Most of the photos I have used of water are between Pacifica and Monterey in California which I know you are familiar with. Thank you again for the review and reading my work. I always look forward to seeing words from you.

[AaronFreitas]

I was thinking they looked like Monterrey... it kind of has its own personality in that area.

[sereenaoutloud]

This actually made me feel calm when reading it, the words and the flow make it feel so peaceful!..love the photo too....fits perfectly with your beautiful words!

[Willard Wells]

The photo I took on a trip to Monterey. I am so glad you saw peace with this work. Thank you for reading and commenting. I changed the format from the original and it seems to work better. Appreciate the visit
