Hi Gypsy, this is a poem of truth. The ocean is so soothing, yet powerful, and we are so small in comparison to it--just a dot. Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

I think I've mentioned that I live on the ocean. When anxiety or life's issues start to take their toll on me, I go to the beach. The ocean and its seemingly infinite area put problems into perspective. This poem captured it. Gretchen

A fantastic gogyohka, Gypsy. I loved how you managed to blend the ocean tide in this. The young woman sitting on the sand gave way to the blend. Your words showed the gentleness of the tide. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Sitting on a beach listening and watching the ocean tides, or waves wash in and out is one of the most soothing sounds there is. You described it perfectly in this poem. Thank you for sharing.

The sea does put everything into perspective! It's so massive that our troubles seem small in comparison. It's good to stop and think of the eternal when struggling with the day to day stuff. Well crafted gogyohka!

Yes. I do have a feeling of eternity when looking at the sea or a very big lake like Lake Superior which look like ocean because it's empty. I like the lotus flower in the end which means Zen to me.

Well done.

    Yes, the lotus flower is a very zen symbol of beauty and rebirth. Thank you very much, Lisa. It's good to hear from you.

Oh, I am so glad I have a six left for this masterpiece, Gypsy.

An absolute delight. A Nirvana for all senses, and I love a nautical theme. I feel like your words brought me right there, to the "sea full of eternity "
