In English, the most common pattern today is certainly with the subject in the beginning of the sentence; and it is certainly true for simple sentences: "Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest" -- where Edmund Hillary is the subject. One can interchange subject and object by using passive voice: "Mount Everest was climbed by Edmund Hillary". But in that case the subject becomes Mount Everest, and it still comes first. The most likely constructions with the subject at the end are going to be archaic or poetic, "Into battle rode the five thousand."

It is true that it is the most common pattern, but a good writer varies their sentence beginnings.

Original Sentence: I feel peace and calm when I look at the water and hear the waves. Looking over the water and hearing the waves, I feel such a peace. When I look at the wate and hear the waves, I feel peaceful. Relaxed and calm, I look at the water and feel at peace. In short, NO the subject is not always in the first part of the sentence.
