The Sea and Me...

The sea has a power and a mystery that always brings me peace..

 

My favorite time to look at you is past midnight...alone. When the wind blows in off your unending motion. It is like a song, with the crashing of your waves setting the beat. I feel at peace with your mysterious rhythm...as if I have loved you in some distant other time.

Have I ? Did we dance along your shore ? Did we love..and then love no more ?

 

No. No, it feels unlike that. You bring me peace. Somehow within your great vastness, though your presence makes me feel insignificant, you also touch me and make me feel alive, and real.

 

Why do I come to you for peace ? Why do I seek you when I am lonely, but also when my heart beats with love ? I stand at your shore, and feel possessed by you. I feel a shield protecting me in the mist from your edge. I find wisdom in your mystery. I do feel as if I am near an ancient love. Were you my lover...perhaps the womb of my mother ?

 

 

It's as if the memory of our love is sacred , and shall always exist. You draw me to you. You whisper " It is ok." I am mesmerized by your beauty..so deep and unknown. I will love you, always...for reasons I will never truly understand.

I read this 3 times and i still feel the need to read it again. It made me feel the sand under my feet and brought the unique salty smell of the sea. I love her, although i fear her. I wish i could swim, deep down in her depths and discover her closerly. I love your poem....."I will love you, always...for reasons I will never truely understand." wonderful

I like this description of a love affair with the sea. :) It brings me back to the times I, myself, have stood and danced with the shore of the ocean, though those times have been few. Thanks for the memories. lol

Thak you Ray....now I need to hit the road, and get to the coast. There is something wonderful about the ocean, how powerful it is, and how tiny it makes me feel. I love the lapping of the waters at night, the smell of salt water...all of it.

Thank you for sharing your love with us.

I think you've done an excellent job capturing the fascination man has with powerful objects of nature. I've always felt water has the ability to mesmorize people, much like your words seem to captivate your readers. The flow reminds me of the calm ocean as well, gentle, yet, constant. There's nothing more beautiful than the essence of nature, and you've done a fine job making that obvious. Thanks for sharing!

Rain, You touch the heart with these words. I really like this piece. Are you sure you aren't a sailor?
The rhythm and flow of the helps to show the love and wondering of the poem

The sea has a similar effect on me, even though I've only seen it twice and I won't set foot in it cuz I have a horrible fear of sharks! lol This is a beautiful description of the effect the sea has on you, it is also very vivid. I feel like I got a small glimpse into your head, so to speak. Thank you for sharing.

I felt true passion when I read this poem as if I was seeing isside your very soul. I can't walk but if I could, I think that I would feel the same as you. Complete and utter passion!

[Blackbirdsong]

I love how bring back the thoughts of loving this person like the tide upon the sea, that was a lovely and masterful use of repetition. Gorgeous poem too.

[Serendipity]

How beautiful.

I completely agree with you, because I too, "seek you when I am lonely, but also when my heart beats with love." The beauty of the sea, "so deep and unknown" is what draws us to it. The uncertainty of its unknown beyond what we see, is what makes us "love you, always."

The sea is so powerful to move to feel-- nothing else can stir us in the same way. A stunning poem filled with unique sentiments and love.

This is really good work. I think you gave it more powerful meaning with the font you chose. The structure I think helped it flow. It was a good poem.
