Ocean Song

Ocean Song

A Poem by ~Artemis~
"

Its based off a scene in one of my books inspired by the Islander, by Nightwish.

"
The waves crash
Their rhythm constant, a steady beat
Spilling out on the shore
A tremor of fury 
 Beneath each thundering, rushing crest.

Yet there's calmness in the steadiness
The endlessly repeating pattern
Unbroken, unchanged, dependable
The undying song of the water.

And the wind
tangible freedom
Sings of it's untamable, unconquerable spirit.
Unpredictable, chaotic, aimless
Yet filled with passion, purpose
Harmonious with the ocean's song.

The seagulls too, and their voices
The shrill, stark, coos
Call to the waves
And the waves roar back.

A small girl disturbs the scene
Yet so familiar is this setting to her
And her to the setting
That she is as much a part of it
As the wind, the seagulls, and the waves

Water gently strokes her feet
Wind catches her hair
She breathes the salt air, the sunlight
And absorbs the generous warmth offering
Of the sand.

The seashore is her home
The wind her whispering friend
The seagulls, her protectors
And the ocean- her life.

She is drawn to it
The power within the waves
The violent passion
The calming stillness
The beautiful contradiction of voices
Creating the song of the sea
Her song.

Her thoughts become the wind
 Her breath becomes the wave's steady pattern
Her voice the seagulls' call
Her soul, the wandering wind
She closes her eyes
And though she scarcely leaves her sandy serenity
Her spirit waves goodbye to its flesh sanctuary
And is lost within in the waves
Lost at sea.

beautifully you imbue each elemental element of the sea and all she holds and attracts with potent and alluring musical compositions palpable in each stunningly crafted line~ and of course~ being one who is filled with the sea and fills the sea~ I adore this beautiful and creative poetic that utilizes the intrinsic depths of free form creative composition~

What a beautiful piece of work this is! A sublime character sketch of the ocean. Bringing the little girl on to the scene was a superb touch. The poem is complete from the point of view of descriptive imagery. The first couple of stanzas describe the various nuances of an ocean's character. Including sea gulls was also a lovely addition. My favorite lines here are
"The beautiful contradiction of voices
Creating the song of the sea"
How vividly they capture the call of the sea!
Overall, a very calming, soothing poem...just like a benign sea...Wonderful!
