Mother Nature, You Inspire Me—Poem

Chitrangada likes to express herself by writing fiction and poetry. Her writing reflects her mood and is inspired by the beauty of nature.

Nature-The Ultimate Inspiration.

Far from the clamour, and commotion,

Sometimes you need a break,

Break from the regular life,

Some peaceful moments,

Some quietness, and tranquility!

I was drawn by the sound, of the waves,

Coming from the window, facing the sea,

So, here I stand, beside the sea beach,

The waves are roaring, but with calmness,

How different from the sound, I escaped!

The waves rush towards me,

with the glimmering silver light,

Now they conclude, to begin again,

How gentle is the sea, and its waves,

With all it's Supreme, and mighty power,

It never, ever crosses it's lines!

( Notice the Metaphor in the concluding lines)

Thanks Dianna for your insightful comments!

Living near the ocean is a privilege indeed. I love the sound of the waves.

Thanks for appreciating and sharing your thoughts on this poem.

Dianna Mendez on January 03, 2018:

Living so near the ocean I get to hear those waves crash often enough. They can at times send powerful sprays onto the land but I do enjoy the feel of the salt water and breeze as it carries the water towards you. I enjoyed your thoughts reflecting life.

You are right--Nature is beautiful, inspirational, peaceful ! But it can be furious and terrifying at times!

A lovely poem. It seems humans are drawn to the sea. It is sometimes peaceful and sometimes terrifying. I enjoyed your words and the beautiful pictures.

Living near a Sea beach is a privilege and I can imagine how relaxing it may be for you. When I was in Bombay I used to visit Sea beaches very frequently. Beautiful moments spent there.

Thanks for appreciating the hub!

Nadine May from Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa on July 28, 2017:

Wonderful. So often by just standing into the surf while the waves are brushing our feet, a calmness comes over us. We live walking distance from the beach, so that is what we do over a weekend, visiting our nearest beach.

We all draw our inspiration from Nature. Whatever we may write in it's praise is nothing compared to it's beauty. It is all around us and within us.

RTalloni on April 26, 2017:

Enjoyed your poem very much. Your words took me back to the refreshment of past visits to the beach. The ocean's majesty is most certainly inspiring. You have reminded me of the last books of Job. Job 38 comes to mind, as well as Proverbs 8:27-36. Thank you!

Very true poetry.
