Stranger on the shore

As silken sands sooth tired feet
I stand where earth and waters meet
As heart and soul rejuvinate
I calmly stand and contemplate.

I step into the turquoise sea
To wash away the old debris
Then build myself a harbour wall
As time and tide both rise and fall.

Whilst swimming deep with the waves
I see the last of Neptunes graves
Where mermaids shimmer in the deep
and times gone by are fast asleep.

I see a stranger on the shore
Whose life is changed for evermore
Upturned reflections on the ground
For I was lost but now I'm found.

    A gentle poem that has the rhythm of the incoming surf, touching our hearts as soothingly as the surf touching our feet. The oceans beaches are the place to contemplate life and to find solutions to our problems, I like the closing "for I was lost but now I'm found" reminding me of amazing grace. A wonderful poem!

    Very nice rhyme. I really enjoyed reading it. It has a sort of classical feel to it, in my opinion, and it sounds absolutely beautiful when reading aloud.

    Great job weaving those words together!
    Really enjoyed it... your words painted a beautiful picture. The shift between reality to fantasy and back again was inspiring.

    Softly metaphorical take on the prompt
    In your usual delicate meter and wonderful rhyme.

    Great stuff and good luck
