SEA AND SUN

SEA AND SUN

A Poem by Phil Roberts

The setting sun still blazes
A white hot disc
It's final defiant rays
Shaped and shifted
By the softly sailing layers of cloud
And feathers and threads of vapour
All reflected as glinting sequins
Upon the sparkling sea
As it softly  rolls and splashes
Rattling pebbles and empty shells
Invading and the disappearing beach
Seasoning the air
With salty spray to sharpen the senses
And the ceaseless rhythm of the murmuring tide
Stirs and caresses the soul
And whispers of a million memories
Time and tide and ocean
At peace in endless motion

Phil, you truly captivate the mind, body and soul with this adulation of the sea and sun. There is a ceaseless rhythm to the murmuring tide, { lovely description} and once you hear it, it forever speaks to you to return.

I am thrilled to have read this, this evening. May you have a wonderful day!
