Oh Gracious Sea

Soft and red was this morn,

With its beauty of darkness born

Relieving these wearisome tired eyes,

With its scarlet, crimson skies.

Dithery flittery was the southern breeze

Putting heart so heavy and mind so weak to ease.

Sounds of gulls lollygabbing in the air

Brought forth unmeasured joy and unbridled care.

Salty spay from gentle ocean swells,

Crackling sounds of broken shells

Triggering memories past, launching dreams anew

Opening all senses for in which enlightenment is due.

Oh the sea… and the power it holds on me.

Oh gracious sea…in your presence, my soul truly sings.

Allen the beauty of this one shines through your soul
which I know is at ease in this place you love so much
with the person you adore! Thanks for showing how sweet
life can be to offset the misery. Splendid work, my friend!

Dear Allen,
A truly inspiring poem that for me was a feast for the senses. I LOVED the word 'lollygabbing'. So expressive I smiled to read it.
The photo is stunning. It is one I would like to read again and again...
Brilliant work!

A lush literary seascape where the soul of the poet flows over the ocean and the shore like the wind itself. Beautiful.
