The beauty and the sea

The beauty and the sea

 

You saved me. You waited for me by the blessed Pacific ocean and you turned to me. You looked at me with your sea blue eyes and I knew. My world led me to hell and back. I allowed the naysayers, haters and liars to control my world. You embraced me, held my head against your breasts and you sang to me.

 
“Sad soldier,
please don’t bleed no-more,
deadly world is far away,
we have found the sea,
we have found forgiveness.
Allow me and the sea to heal your black heart.
We will learn the Gypsy prayer,”

 
“Pray we have just enough,
don’t steal from or abuse nature,
be kind,
generous,
fair to each other.
Walk easy on the sands of time.”

 
I looked up into her eyes of kindness,
of perfect valleys where love expand and grow.
I told her,
Thank you, my muse, my love, my Gypsy girl.

dear John... beautiful Art... a gypsy girl with blue eyes like the sea.
She will heal your wounds and sing you a tune... hold you close when
waves try to take you away... she will take you to a Cove and build a fire
to keep you warm and safe. Amen. truly, Pat

Thank you dear Pat for reading and the kind words. Myth and tale is my favorite.

I sometimes wish I had your muse John.

You do Ken. Your stories filled with life and adventure.

No- just Beautiful words and art my friend. You are such a gentle, kind soul and your spoken/written words are like a dancing waterfall, an escape to a land where hearts and landscape passionately intertwine. “Sad soldier..please don’t bleed no-more..deadly world is far away..we have found the sea..we have found forgiveness”- you write your words on our souls Coyote, and we forever thank you for them.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are so sweet and kind dear Annette. Thank you for reading my work.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Awwww shucks! Love ya Coyote!

something about the ocean that's just brings peace to our rumbling world... may all souls find calm and salvation
this poem reminds me of a movie called, silence of the sea.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Lily. I agree, the sea. Place to gather our minds.

for men to collapse in a yielded state in the arms of the woman he loves, to me says it all ..... men can be very sensitive, caring and deeply in love and i think that moment when grown men cry in the presence of the woman .. it is a profound point in their relationship .. it can't be faked nor impersonated ... wonderful poem and scene for your "soldier boy" ... love the pic! and for me these lines in closing are priceless:
"I looked up into her eyes of kindness,
of perfect valleys where love expand and grow."

Thank you my friend. All of us need the comfort of love, the feeling of safety.

[Einstein Noodle]

yep! we sure do sir!

[Laura Kate]

This is lovely, the imagery is really strong which I really like, yet it is also quite sensual and mystical. The story begins with one character in mind, yet we end on a more global perspective which is relatable but also reminds us what is important.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you LauraKate. I liked your comment.

[Tate Morgan]

I think it metaphorical in its intent. The dreams of a soldier. Something about the ocean seems to be eternal.While we are simply finite. Dont let your conscience get to you. You are a good soul.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are very kind my friend. I appreciate your kind words.

“Pray we have just enough,
don’t steal from and abuse nature,
be kind,
generous,
fair to each other.
Walk easy on the sands of time.”

this is such a beautiful prayer , it reminds me of the American Indian way of life...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Stella. Would be nice if we could be kind to each other and nature.

[Stella Armour]

We learn with time thankfully, most of us anyway :))
