I DREAM OF THE SEA

The sea is woven liquid white

foaming ripples in the night

blue crests of dabbled drops

moving, dancing ... never stops

soft salt spray on ashen birds

wind that speaks in silent words

a song I’ve heard since I was young

eons the world has had it sung

on stone and sand, waves caress

the frothy foam of ocean’s dress

and in my dreams I see her face

the one I long for in this place…

Enchanting. It sounds like you're in a beautiful place, longing for a beautiful love!

Thank you, marcus! The time approaches, so my heart is at peace in the anticipation. :)

You have an unique voice when speaking of romance.

Thank you, Cowboy... our years here flow so fast. :)

[Adam Adams]

Undoubtedly, one of my fav. writes!

Liked the whole poetry especially the way you've ended it. Love's a thing that has number of images, phases & infatuated vibes across carnal shades of dabbling heart which often enter or re-enter the life time-to-time. Your poetry has got a perfect match with "E.E Cummings" imagery thoughts either. Beautiful choice of words as always! Quite intriguing! Excellent work!

It's always lifting to have your visit, my friend... I hope your weekend brings you all you are longing for... and just a little more!

The ocean is something hard to capture in words, but you've done it with your foaming ripples and soft salt spray...

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you so much, Marie... I love the ocean... and one day will live on her shore.

The ocean is a deep emotion within me :) I remember crying the first time I saw it...my heart was racing. Beautiful poetry, Craig :)))

Ah, dear lynn! Yes, the ocean is so full of wonder... may you always feel that when you hear her waves. :)
