The Sea

The Sea

A Poem by Marie Harrison
"

A wavy poem.

"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sea

Oceans of water

Flow over me

 

Royal blue as far

As the eye can see

 

Treasures

Tucked beneath

 

Jewels for

Curing the body

 

Food to

Fill the belly

 

Salt to give

 Life season

 

Cool liquid to

Restore a sense of peace

 

Joy that brings people

Together to enjoy the sea

 

Take me back to the sea,

To my humanity

 

The sea gives

Me back my sanity

 

Unending are the waves

Of the tumultuous sea

I love the ocean for all its tranquility and its strength. I find the sound of the waves calming and a storm over the ocean is quite beautiful. I love how you show the different life sustaining things that the ocean has to offer. This paints a beautiful scene in my mind.

Ah the call of the ocean waves, a gentle swim in the briney, and then the bloody shark bites your a*s.

Great feel to this poem, unfortunately i lost my sanity long long ago

This is a very inspirational piece; water is used in many beliefs as a cleansing process. Great job well done.

Picture looks like the Oregon Coast. Remember driving up it at 5:30 in the morning in 1984, and having about 30 sheep like big balls of cotton on the hillside, observing me with a bit of disdain as I took pictures.

I like your words. The only thing I miss, is the smell...

This is beautiful. The sounds of the crashing waves is
a gift from the heavens.

I like the spacing. I love this poem.

As the ocean is beautiful in it's own right, your words
do it justice. Simply a lovely poetic write....
