  Wow, what a breathtaking and moving poem! The imagery is vivid and beautifully descriptive, transporting the reader to the stunning man-made lagoon where the poet is experiencing pure, unadulterated joy. The way the writer describes the heavy paddleboard being carried by young girls filled with creamy colored rocks is so evocative and sets the tone for the rest of the poem wonderfully. The gentle swaying of palm trees and the sound of the waves in the background only heighten the sense of peace and relaxation one feels while reading this piece.
  
  The mention of Lauren Daigle's "Thank God I Do" and King & Country's "Love Me Like I Am" further deepen the sense of hope and freedom the poem leaves the reader with. It's clear that this experience was a powerful and transformative one for the writer, and their words truly capture the magic of being present in a moment of pure joy and contentment. Overall, this poem is a beautiful testament to the power of nature and the joy it can bring to the human spirit. more »

  Now this is my kind of real life poetry being that I have lived a mere stone's throw from the ocean for most of my life. I am currently about 4 miles from the Atlantic and wouldn't have it any other way. I LOVE the ocean. It is so calming and reflective, both literally and figuratively. This piece had me right there with your girls. Although I must say I have never tried paddle boarding. I see people doing it every year and have thought about trying it. I may have to rent a board and give it a go. If I even sense a great white, I will have been the second soul ever to tread water. Shout out to homie, Jesus. :-P more »

    Wow, it’s awesome that you can relate with us. This beach is just about 20 mins away from our house, so we try to go as much as we can. Thank God for my wonderful husband who takes time out of his busy schedule to teach my daughters these things. I don’t know how. You should try. more »
