I sit upon a sunbathed rock
In my life I slowly take stock
As the waves surround my feet
Where man and nature finally meet

The water serves to soothe my soul
Allowing me to once again be whole
For my sins have all been washed clean
My life has been painted with new scenes

No longer do I walk alone in the dark
Looking for that ever elusive spark
The light of life surrounds me now
To the heavens I reverently bow

Peace surrounds my troubled heart
Giving me a brand new start
Walking in victory with my Lord
To new heights my life has soared

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Such encouraging words for the rest of us to keep looking to the heavens! This one does soar! Enjoyed.
Sincerely,

I've always found a sense of renewal and peace from visits to the sea - even if those feelings are so fleeting they seem borrowed.   But you've found a greater source of peace and lasting victory, and written it well. Beautiful work.

Jesus had good reason to say "Peace be with you"  He knew it's an emotion we crave. God bless you!
