Tranquility  whispering wind of salty air ocean breeze so warm and fair heavenly sunset against the sea silence embraces all beauty gentle waves flow slowly tossing leads in sails gradual crossing heading out in ocean wide bow moves onward in great pride raise the mainsail strong and tall softly moving to his call moving across methodically splashing waves periodically raise the jib for a little more fun as he and the ocean soon become one sailing across the ocean blue a dream he knows he must pursue feeling free in the salty air nothing in the world compares sunset slowly turning dim darkness gently comes within bringing with it tranquil peace one with nature will never cease sitting sternside he drinks it in thanking God for all he's given resting in the magical illusion he ponders sitting in seclusion happiness and joy engulf his soul bringing felicity and making him whole Cpalmer |

"Tranquility". Truly lovely piece you have written here. Excellent. "We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."- Henri Poincare (1854-1912) |

I love this poem, one of my favorites too. You do an excellent job of describing the undescribable. Reading it brings back memories of past trips and feelings, and excitement of what the next trip will hold, thanks. One day we will go sailing. lyl |

Very impressive work, Cindi. I liked the flow that you created for it, it was very appropriate to the setting... you have advanced form, as you demonstrate herein - you use iambic tetrameter as a guide for the sound, and not a rule for the syllables. It all turned out very nice. Great imagery... this appealed to my senses. Nice to read some "recreational" poetry for a change!  Yours, ~Allan They call me a madman, but I'm not mad at anyone. |

Congrats on the 500 WOW I enjoyed this poem and your ability to inject nautical term without disrupting the flow. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |
