Eternal sea riddled with mystery infinite possibilities swim around in vast oceans of unknown species with undiscovered wealth in hidden caves never entered nothing fascinates me more
As I listen to the pounding surf a haze,a sort of bluish vapor surrounds me, and the sand seems to curve like the waves upon windswept shores as shells sights, and smells of seas, rife with waters, so full of life and crags holding creatures of all kinds, it blows the mind.
Yet, here I sit alone on the beach and not another soul in reach being here in broad daylight without another person in sight with all that life in the ocean it's an amazing notion.... isn't it?
you are such a thinker, Eileen! I love it when you manage to combine amazing images with deep, sincere thoughts as you have done here. I haven't been to the ocean in years, but have been on quite a sea kick lately in my dreams and poetry -- it's nice to read somebody else's work who's probably actually been there lately. :) Dawn
A week ago I was sitting on a rock in the Mogadishu beach watching the sea and admiring its beauty and all the creatures living therein. Marvelous poem. God bless you queen
To stand alone in a crowd can be a very painful thing. Yet it can also be a very liberating thing as well. As it means never being tied down. Being able to move freely. And to go places for reasons of your own. Enjoy the freedom while you can...
Yes indeed, Eileen; the sea seems to have a life (to be an entity) all of its own. This is a lovely ode to it. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you,
Beautiful, simply lovely Eileen. The music is perfect for this poem -- just listening to it, I can shut my eyes and see the sea.
Well done, my friend.
Love,
CJ
The magnetic lure and pull of the restless sea is irresistable
to those who are spiritually and mentally attuned..
You convey a warm sense of knowing and understanding in this sensitive write
Superb graphic to accompany the poem..

Superb. I love England cos you can never be more than 70 miles from the sea. And we call that part landlocked.. Not sure your mid west would agree..
I wish we would spend less on space and more on understanding what lurks beneath...

Now I was behind a rock and saw you in a brown study, meditating on the shoreline and the sea. But I did not distrub you. Who would want to awake a minx? Your brown study brought on a most beautiful poem. Victor

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!

Makes me feel home sick.
But then again the vast mystry, power and perseverance of the ocean always does
Beautiful
It's the best times in life - hunkering down by ones self, or with the one you love, on a desolate beach. A tactile write.
Sometimes it's the contradictions in life that bring the reality into perspective.

your images are incredible...I especially loved
and the sand
seems to curve like the waves
upon windswept shores

Yet embraces the only one
Who found time - took time - made time - to enjoy.
