A STILL MORNING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The ocean is a dream of peace
Last Line: Become its very own.
Subject(s): Morning


The ocean is a dream of peace,
On hills of calm the sunshine lies;
All is a-thrill with sweet release
And hints of paradise.

The sea-front crested black with pines
Glimmers beneath with golden sands,
And all its gentle curving shines
With grace of happy lands.

Unmarred by whispers of the air
The ocean mirrors back the shore,
A lover with his memories fair
To pleasure softly o'er.

So doubly beautiful the sea
With images of loveliness,
Like some pure soul perceived to be
More than it dares express;

Like some pure, humble, tender face
That echoes others' joys alone,
Until those mirrorings of grace
Become its very own.
