The Entity

Wrote years ago while at the beach.

Like rolling thunder this entity sighs all over
the world.
Higher and higher the crashing waves break.
creeping and inching its way up the gentle soft sands.
The sun upon my chilled body
warms my very blood.
The hypnotic crashing of gentle giants makes
me want to sleep.
The patchwork clouds yield the sun
and reveal the beauty.
Like a whisper on the winds the
aroma is powerful.
A scent of what is floating upon
the comforting breeze.
The delicate grains beneath my feet allow
me the simpleness of life.
My hair is taken by the wind and obscures my
view over the majestic entity.
I smell the life within these raging waters
and too wish to be one with this majestic entity.
All around people walk upon the softened rock.
they do not appreciate it for all its worth.
A sadness fills my very being as the sun breaks
the patchwork.
With the patchwork broken the world is
clearer and I look once again to the human life.
My last thoughts are of how far we have fallen.
there is so much beauty in the world and yet…
Man is blind to see what he has killed.
The entity roars behind me as I leave this
place of stunning beauty.

Author's Note

Does not flow as well as many of my other poems, but it worked for me at the time I wrote it.

I love it.

This is amazing!!! I was at the beach today and wrote a poem about it as well! I guess we were on the same thinking track! :D

The poem is absolutely incredible, and shows excellently the emotion and personality that the ocean truly has. I don't think I can pick out any particular lines that I really loved. They were all so great, and I can relate to every one of them! Like in your other poem, I love that you mention the simple beauty of sand. It's truly inspiring stuff. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience! :D
