Thanks to a post by Mari Sterling Wilbur, I have decided to expande my horizons and participate in Roy Durham's Poe-a-tree Blog Event. Roy has given the following prompt: You are standing at the shore, looking out at the sea--what are your thoughts? Of course, it needs to be a poem. Please display all the links below and and add your own to the list. Try to visit everyone who is participating, please.

This my peace,
My solitude.
On this shore
I am renewed.
Nothing can
Touch me here.
The healing waters
Gather me up
And rock me
gently.
This is my peace.

Judie ... keep moving forward girl ... that was beautiful!
Roy, the above photo was taken at dawn on Jekyll Island, a National Seashore off the Georgia coast. We are going there in a few weeks. We have been going there since we were children and are going back to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
Jo, thanks for the sweet comment.
That is exactly how I feel about the seashore. You described it eloquently.
You could have been writing about my healing place. Beautiful.
Oh wow, that is gorgeous, Judie! I am a "beach" person so I can totally relate to this in such a profound way.
Happy 4th of July to you and your family!!!
XO

Gosh this sounds like my SC post would work for this.~Ames
Peace--I can feel it! Thanks, Judie
Judie: Thank you for explaining why I live near the ocean.
Love it! I'm not trying, or it will be the biggest joke of the month... :)
Judie, this is such a beautiful poem, and has a calming effect on me!
I like your economical style. You say in a few words, what most people have a hard time conveying with ten times the amount of words.
I was googling for an old post of mine when I came across your blog that included me in it.
I do miss Roy and the hops he initiated.
I love your poem and image.
Lots of love.
