Ocean

Poem Artwork

Such is the nature

Of the ocean

That the waters

Which flow into it

Can never fill it,

Nor those

Which flow from it

Exhaust it, even a bit.

 

I will enjoy myself,

Rambling

By the ocean's waves

And feeling

What the state

Of chaotic obscurity is.
 

It might be boiling

About me,

But I would not feel

Its foaming heat;

It might be frozen up,

But I would not feel

Its paralyzing bite;

The hurrying thunderbolts

Might split my craft

And the fitful gusts

Turn the waves up,

Without being able

To make me beaten.

I have been by the Pacific Ocean and I love the crashing of waves....
especially during the night...

Always,

I don't go far out in the ocean, just sit along the edge and look out and think how vast the ocean is and that my pen friend of more than 59 years is across it thinking of me also. I could not do well without a visit once in a while to the ocean 3 hours away though, so don't go often.

I love the juxtaposition of ocean depths with ocean obscurity. This is an intriguing write, playing off the complexity of the ocean. John

I'm not that secure when in the ocean. It has almost brought my demise on several occasions.

This is bravery against all odds concerning the ocean. I have that same feeling about hurricanes. I've never ran from one. Enjoyed this . . .
