My Love for Water~

My Love for Water~

Morning sunbeams skip
Across the surface of
Clear, blue beauty
At the end of the dock,
I see a lone white bird
Unmoving and watching
Its prey may be there
Beneath the moving tides.

Water & beaches…
Shores of lovely, collected 
seashells
And buried treasures
Hiding somewhere.

I wish my priority in life
Could be to walk in 
the soft, wet 
sand,
And study the living
ecosystem 
around 
The water sources and their history
with my camera and brushstrokes.

Serene bays with colorful drifting boats
I am drawn to the water captures,
Because it is where I came from
Like a mother’s womb
And the soft rock of movement
Brings back a memory of 
an unconditional 
Love with protection.

My real attraction these days
Is the frequent feeling of renewal
With each wave, view of the tides,
And the shore’s slight imperfections.

Also, the experiences of the quiet
At sunrise and beauty of the skies
There and at the end of each day.--J. E. Cook © 2018

I love the water too. Pond, river, lake or sea. Always a pleasure to be near. I enjoyed your description of water. Thank you Josie for sharing the amazing poetry.
