In memory of a wonderful man, who loved the sea, above all else.

                        Home

As ocean tides retreat from shore,

to sea, to peace, forevermore.

The darkest hue, of turquoise blue,

when morning starts anew.

At peace, at home, upon the sea,

the gentle flow, forever free.

A sudden breeze, an icy freeze,

the waves in stormy seas.

A flaming sun, so vibrant red,

preceding dusk, which lies ahead,

sinks slowly to the ocean floor,

at sea, at home, forevermore.

Your words surround the reader with the sensory input which must've been a delight to your beloved old man of the sea. Welcome to the cafe & can't wait for you to post more excellent reading like this! (((HUGS)))

A wonderful song of requiem written with tenderness and love. I live a few short miles from the sea and can totally relate to the allurement she casts upon the soul. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your artful poem with us.

A very nice memorial here. The use of both rhyme and imagery is well handled. A good peace inducing meditation.

I'd say you did his memory, proud. Love this, Jennifer, especially your closing line.
