I don't wish to make a poem here, i just want to describe a very poetic experience in my life. I will make it first person in attempt to improve the imagery.

Leaning against the side of the tiny fishing boat i am lulled into a state of serenity by the rythmic lapping of the waves. As far as the eye can see in all directions is a dark sheet of silk rolling as if blown by a breeze from underneath. As the rising of the sun draws closer i am filled with courage and chance the slippery side of the boat, nearly falling once, taunting the roaring sea. I make it safely to the prow, sitting alone because my companions had not dared the dangerous path. So alone i stare into the abiss, left to toss about my own thoughts and aspirations. The sky is bright red, filled with the orange glow from the promise of the sun, as yet unseen. The red reflects off the black ocean's now violent surface to produce a warm glow of tranquility among the forceful blows of the watery fists against our steadfast vessel. There, i can't help but see God's glory, His absolute perfection. The balance of a peaceful sky meeting the terrible violence of the Sea. A masterpiece to defeat all human works of art without so much as an effort. I close my eyes and extend my arms to their fullest, God is worthy of all my praise. Feeling the force of His wind against my face and arms, I listen to the sounds of the coming day. It is the day that the Lord has made and i will rejoice in it. My solitude is only broken by the wonderful presence of the Lord, far surpassing the beauty of His own creation.

Then you have MORE THAN achieved what you set out to do. It's easy to read and very vivid, which makes it almost a shared experience with the reader
