A stiff southwest wind blows.
My heart remembers
What my mind wants to forget.
The waves calm and nurture.
Vast expanse of azure sky and indigo sea
Reminds me of my place here
In this world.
It reminds me that this moment
Now
Is only an infinitesimal part
Of the whole.
What attachment should I then have?
Knowing that each moment
Each place
Each person
Can bring joy.
I surrender
I let go.
What was
Is no more.
What will be
Is not yet.
Only now,
And the sky
And the sea.

Great to meet you through OM. As a sea baby from Ireland, I love this piece.
Thank you so much! The ocean is my second home I think. Very happy you liked it!
Sometimes I feel like it’s my first home. Lovely to meet a kindred spirit.
Me too….happy to meet you. And yes, sometimes it is my first home. When I need some real peace and perspective.
Yeah, I swim pretty much all year round, seas permitting.
Wow! Love this poem. So beautifully you have expressed the truth of life. A lovely and serene reminder of “Let go”.
Thank you so much.! The ocean is great inspiration. 😊
Yes, It is. This poem is just what I needed right now; have also bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing it! 🙂
I’m honored. Thank you!
