Written whilst gazing out to sea at LA with the lovely KB. LA being Lee Abbey


Poem Artwork


magnificent ocean how I gaze at
you I hear you speak to me
yet you say nothing you keep your
mysteries hidden beneath your
oceanic grey

you’re a coast of peace
a coast of war
you spray your potion
yet nothing do you say

gentle as a lamb
in you we bathed then
left before your
deafening roar

ocean blue
you sink and swell
beneath the rolling green hills

sovereign ocean
permanent motion
yet the hills remain still

I love the ocean and the sounds it brings...

You hear the sounds,upon the shore,
Lulling me, wanting more.
A mind's eye, pictures seen,
Always moving me to dream....

Beautiful Andy...I went to St Kitts last year in April with my best friend and we saw a similar picture to this one from the train in the hills.

Andy, this is so peacefully beautiful, and how wonderful that you shared such a moment with Kate! There's something so magical about the sea...it's as though all troubles disappear. Again, beautiful writing.

the sea's timeless motion stirs the soul and invites the imagination to create and the heart to emote -- salt air alive with the magic of blown spray invigorates and urges passion anew -- mystery swims just below the sea's surface, luring us to explore heightened compassionate expressions -- Andy, your rendering captures for the reader the excitement the sea brings to the core of man's senses and values -- a proper seaman's shanty to be sure -- may joy and love follow you this day my friend -- Jon Michael

Beautiful and peacefully retold ~ Wild and gentle both, these are my favorite spots on earth, as well as I like people that way too.
Now, moving on... So KB being the lovely Kate! You are so lucky to go bathing with her! And at this mysterious spot. I can imagine it was relaxing, kind of like Wales is to me in my mind.
Blessings,
Christine

What a truly amazing and special place Lee Abbey is and you have captured its abilities to speak volumes into the heart, mind and soul without uttering a word - by being inscrutable, as you suggest and as the gun-metal grey of the photograph indicates. Love the counterbalance of that final stanza, too: no sea/see-sickness here! :)) June 2006... so long ago, so much water under the... limestone cliffs. Your metaphorical "bathing" I don't recall - only getting very wet feet through my tartan-patterned leaking wellington boots! You articulate the awe, wonder and Aslan-magic well. Thanks for the memory! xx
