My Sea of Wonder - August 26, 2010



My Sea of Wonder

A taste of heavenly wonder greets my adoring face
In the distinct form of salty spray
Such magnificent showers of mist filled hours
You bless me with each day

A lullaby of mesmerizing verse I hear in every wave
Crashing upon your delightful shore
My heart cannot help but sing along with you
Deeply love you even more

I faintly hear the distant cries of the soaring gulls
Impassioned by the sight of thee
I wonder if you intensely bless their tiny souls
The way that you bless me

I feel the warmth begin to fade from the setting sun
Soon, I know I must leave your side
Travel along your sandy shores, safely to my home
Knowing in my dreams, you will still abide

I really like this line; it brings me back to those moments on the shore when I lay half in and half out of awakeness and the waves seemed to be speaking to my brain in a language that somehow I understood

Ten years have passed since I last saw the sea...this poem makes me realize how I need to go down to the sea again. Thank, Neva :)
