A Different Shade of Azure

 

 

The moon dances happily

upon the rippled sea.

While the sweet salt air

calls desperately to me.

 

I feel its pull beyond

the marrow in my bones.

When she speaks my name

I know I’m not alone.

 

The rhythm of the waves

resets my beating heart.

In azure shades of calm

I am formed into fine art.

 

Far from the raging storms

lost to sweet tranquility.

I can only bow my head

and offer my humility.

Am pulled to a childhood memory, of being on the Pacific Ocean, with my dad, salmon fishing. Of the tranquility and the different scents, which embraces your soul that doesn't exist, on the Great Lakes, living mere minutes away, from Lake Ontario's shores.

I am happy that the poem could evoke such a lovely memory.

Funny, this was the only time, we went on the ocean, together, despite the fact, I was born, out there.

Your words have settled comfortably in my imagination, and painted a multitude of mental pictures. This piece takes me to a different place every time I read it. Living on the east coast, I find myself looking out at the ocean a lot, and the rhythm of the waves never fail to reset my beating heart...I like the blue font's aesthetic touch as well. Lovely work my friend.

I feel its pull beyond
the marrow in my bones.
When she speaks my name
I know I’m not alone.

The ocean is a mother of sorts. She offers relief and calm. Wonderful write, Icyblu.

The rhythm of the waves
resets my beating heart.
In azure shades of calm
I am formed into fine art.
There is something so soothing and peaceful about the ocean - the ebb and flow of tide - the soft sound of the waves sweeping the shore...
Your poem is lovely!
