My mind the sea

 Drunk on nature's beauty I look to the sea

Ignorance lies beneath, nothing can I see

Only waves over the currents of destiny

that wash the shores of consciousness's sands of infinity

Colors change with the clouds and sky

Friendly breezes tease its skin, gales blacken its eye

White beards top its face where tears of rain fly

From the throat of depths where secretes regurgitated lie

A chameleon lover, becoming unfaithful as a wife

impervious to cuts, bleeding my life from a knife

Mounting waves burial mounds its residents drawn by the wind's fife

Hidden under murky water's blanket, jail bars on birth's crib of life

The first two verses could serve as a demonstration of how the sea can be a metaphor for human consciousness. Then the third verse hits us with a true crime story. How quickly good and evil can merge, even in poetry.

Very astute John I like that interpretation. Thank you for the read. It is always appreciated.

Wow! What a metaphoric gem in this superbly penned poem, Soren! A wonderful opening line which draws the reader in. The visual detail takes the reader's breath away, at least it took mine away and left me with my mouth open as I read. I love how you personify the wind as playing a fife instrument, the music high pitched and shrill. Infidelity is the sharpest knife of all, the wounds it leaves never fully heal and are easily opened again. An amazing write from your golden poetic pen, Soren. Thank you for sharing...
