I belonged to the sea,
and like uprooted sargasso,
I floated away;
murmurs of waves
pulse through my veins,
and the tidal pools I left
to be flotsam on the land;
my ghost ship self
drifts by the glass sometimes
—by the bed that contorts to my form—
and beckons me to go back;
back to the indigo sea,
that throbs as the beat of my heart
back to the sapphire sea
to live again.

I had in mind a simular piece I did myself called 'The river and the wind' it reminds me of this in some ways.
thanks for creating it.

I drift into a liquid state until I can see the seashore no more.
Bravo!

For this reason, Garard Gauthier suggested I visit your site
and read your sea poems. I am indebted to Gerard. - Gene.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((, little sister, Barbie
You have a great talent.

You are a deep and passionate writer! Love how you use words to paint such a vivid picture. Your writing reflects your true soul. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your lovely comments on my poem about Nature, so I decided to check out your poetry and this poem touched me deeply..I believe that our souls are connected to something or somewhere and in each person it is a different place or thing. For Me it is definitely the sea/ocean..I wish you well, and your words are very lovely.
Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber

I loved this poem. I especially related to the phrase "my ghost ship self." I can feel the same way sometimes.
Beautiful imagery.
