Sea Song

Really old poem - been writing them for over a quarter of a century. *lol* Dusting off the old files to share them here and see if anyone likes them.

 

 

The tide rushes in upon the sand,

Waters foam and churn in indecision,

Coming and going in an endless dance,

Cry of gulls and sand piper calls,

Mingle with the enchanting song of the sea,

Weaving a spell over the land,

Calling the sailor back to the restless waves,

The mistress of a thousand mortal souls,

She's a moody siren, a playful maiden,

One moment wild with storm, the next still and silent,

Mysterious and deep, she hides a wondrous world,

The sun melts upon her breast as the day ends,

Dark waters whisper gently upon the golden sands,

A thousand stars glitter above,

Like the tiny lights of the fishing boats below.

Thanks for taking me back to the shore. Being in Arizona, oceans themselves are hard to come by, let alone shores. It made me think about an afternoon I had in Rocky Point, a few peaceful minutes I managed to get alone on the beach, listening to the music of the waves dancing upon the sand.
