"When I stare out into the sea, watching its changing moods, I see the reflection of life there and think of life's tumult and tussle on one side and its ease and peace on the other." _ By Poet
When the world begins to close in on me, I walk to the beach, not too far away. The sea, ever alluring and new Yet never changing, sprawls before me. A sight to ease my weary heart! The chilly breeze blowing, The jets of water, dispersing in smoky spray, The tides rushing to cleanse the feet- All so thrilling, offering a calm serenity to me. Sometimes the billows break and roar, Creating a wild mayhem Sometimes, the sea lies quiet with no upsurge, Producing a steady repeating and fading rhythm When I hear the tinkling sound, The gentle waves and wavelets produce, I am reminded of a maiden’s anklets chiming, As she inches ahead with steps demure And heart pounding, to her bridal chamber On her first nuptial night with dreams galore At times, the tides become thuds of footsteps, Down the long corridors of time Tolling minutes and hours away Thus, the waves advancing and receding, And the sea, boisterous and brooding in turn, Remind me of the eternal flux of life, And the inevitable ups and downs, we all experience!

Valsa, you are an exceptionally talented poet of the highest class. I can almost experience what you're describing! You have written beautiful poetry, and it was a pleasure to read it. Being near the water is therapeutic because it allows you to forget about the stresses of daily life. Good luck with the contest.

You are absolutely right dear Tom. Early in the morning and in late evenings, beach is the best place to go especially in the summer season. Thanks a lot
