waves splashing cold
spurts of water

gazing through the azure
at a distance,
a glimpse into the past
a world of Innocence
essence of tranquility
engulfs me within
the sweet reminiscence
of childhood
...
a smile
a chill rolling over
my neck
a glimpse into the present
fast moving teenage

fading away

mature footsteps of humanity
an eager heart
- looking for satisfaction
...
a soft sigh
in anticipation of
what lies ahead
a glimpse into the future
the zeal to hustle
embedded within every cell
the enthusiasm to taste
the bitter world
...

Great imagery in this. I love the ocean and you have given me a knew way to look at it. It always seems that if you are at the ocean it is easier to think of memories good and bad. I tend to like the good ones!!!

Don't let that doubt come in . It's not the world thats bitter, only some people and not all people. Inside we are always the innocent child if we live our lives with the sincerety of a child. Then there's beautiful magic to behold.
peace and joy

I love this poem. I had a feeling you would do a wonderful job with this title, and you have! The mood of this poem is so unique and ecclectic.
Thank you so much for entering. I really appreciate it.
