Simple Acts of Happiness

Walk on the shore of a clear, glossy sea
Hear the splashes of the waves
As they make love to the wet, euphoric sand
See the white, triumphant foam
Kissing the yellow grains
Showering it with gifts,
A world of wondrous creatures

Lie down on the wet sand
While listening to your favorite music
Getting soaked in the joyful tears
Of the shore getting bestowed
By love and tenderness
From its hungry lover

Open up your arms to the festive wind
Embrace its happiness in you
Rush yourself into its hug,
Its invisible arms endowing you with love
Enclosing you in it

Be happy as the waves make sweet, sweet love
To the soft, glittering grains
Be happy when the wind whistles
Celebrating their mating
Be happy when the sun says goodbye
To its victorious children
Be happy as you stand witnessing
A world of wondrous creatures

  1. I don't feel this poem. It has a lot of adjectives but I don't feel it somehow. First there was a soothing emotion that was contrasted - and put down - by the following lines. Also, there is the calm sand and the "rigorous foam". Rigorous indicates that the sea isn't calm, which is the opposite of the rest of the poem.

    In the second stanza, there are several points to be considered:

    Lay down on the wet sand
    While listening to your favorite music
    Getting soaked in the joyful tears
    Of the shore getting bestowed
    By love and tenderness
    From its hungry lover

    First it's "Lie down", second, there is too much use of the passive voice, it feels boring
    the last three lines are both vague and weird. The arrangement and cutting are off.

    Try to use less passive and cut the lines differently to give more power and feeling.
