Stateroom Balcony Peace Poem by Deanna Samuels

It is so peaceful to sit out on the warm stateroom balcony
For a while, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy ship
With waves swishing and whishing by
The Atlantic Ocean as blue as blue can be
Calm, with little swell, a few sea horses here and there
The line of horizon between sea and sky unbroken
No ships, vessels or rigs to mar
Above the horizon, the sky is a soft powdery blue
A few small white fluffy clouds floating high in the sky
The sun shines brightly and unbroken across the whole vista
No other sound is audible save that of the moving waves
The privacy on the stateroom balcony was of pure peace
