Marguerite Smith - The beach

The Ocean waves are calm and peaceful.
Feeling my soul with tranquility.
I close my eyes and rest
This has to be the best.
Riding the waves that take me far away
The smells of a summer bouquet.
A place of such serenity
The beach that calms the weary broken spirit.
Peace like a dove
The calm from Gods nature below and above.

Простої та світлої днини
Пливуть океанськими хвилями,
Мов чистим потоком рутини,
Ці рими, лазуррю овіяні.
 
І хоч моря дихання свіже
Мене заспокоює лагідно,
Душі заклопотаний тиждень,
Скуйовджений гамірно,
 
Стихає. Так стишені Божі
Та янгольські всі сновидіння.
Цей спокій над пляжем тотожний
До сталості й міці терпіння.
 
Доповненe щемом щоденним
У грізних душі підземеллях,
Злітає, мов голуб Равенни,
Натхнення понад теревені.
