I stand upon the shores of life
Gazing out upon the once-tempestuous waters
Now tranquil; shimmering in the fading sunlight.
The loose white sand swirls about my feet
As the tide rhythmically laps the shoreline.
The warm fingers of the breeze
Brush light against my neck.
I close my eyes,
Allowing peace to overtake me.
My soul is finally at ease,
And so I know deep in my heart
That my life will be joyful once more.
You captured the imagery in this poem perfectly.
