Back to the Sea

The chilled dawn breaks day

With its sunny face,

And the new morning waves

To the fresh sky, where it lays

 

Spread out in blue and gold,

As the sea spray laughs below;

The tidal moon just won’t let me be,

I feel it's pulling me back to the sea,

 

Back to where I know I belong;

Those clouds of mist float along,

And the briny sea-gulls soar by,

Framing memories with a soft sigh.

 

As the mysteries of the ocean unfold,

My soul receives its treasures untold;

I’m going back now, back to the sea,

Back to where I’ve always  wanted to be.

 

Author notes

I'm going where soul treasures are discovered, back to the sea.

    Roses are red,
    click your shoes like Judy Garlin.

    Perhaps the treasure is the struggle,
    like Santiago's marlin.

    I really loved this piece, i'm a sucker for anything to do with the sea.
    As a former merchant seaman i really connect with this. The sea of galilee looks to be the perfect setting.

    Very nicely done Cyn, I could see elements of the sonnet form as I read it. Lovely rhymes and rhythms. Beautiful images. Nicely done.

    The beauty that you instill in my mind with this poem is pure magic. I have never seen the ocean but you make me feel like I have.

    ... and there's naught

    to compare with the energy that this moving body of water infuses into the soul. Nicely shared thoughts as well. jy
