TRANQUILITY
Then, after breakfast, we walk beside the ocean
There, to savour the sweet saltiness of a special occasion
We bond anew, a special time put aside to share

Joy and sadness into the wet sand compressed
Firm tiny grains, the weight of days travelled to impress
A horizon, unwilling to lift off, staying to care

But the mist is rising, with a breeze for sculpting
Trees into willow wisps, strong, flexible and all yielding
Like a kiss, unspoken, shared with one so dear

    Oh, I have been there! I want to return to the place where/when the kiss is possible once the softness and suppleness is found

    flexible and all yielding
    Like a kiss, unspoken,
    shared with one so dear

    That is tranquility at its most relaxed and daringly undisturbed

    Loved the third stanza. It made me smile. That is the picture of tranquility for me. :-)

    Yes, I miss that; walking on the beach holding hands, letting surf come over our feet. Beautifully done Gillena.

    I love this subtle change of form Gillena - your writing shows great wisdom and acceptance...no sense just comes it has to be worked towards - even tranquility

    Hey Gillena, your scene you created with your lines here made me sigh and reminisce about the ocean and how it is tranquil when you walk by it, feeling its mist in your throat, and the sunset glowing in the distance. aaah...thanks for the image. so blessed.

    This is beautiful, Gillena. Reading it I felt somehow included, although not intruding, in your special pradise and the moments of tranquillity! Lovely!
