THE WANDERING SEA    


  
  




THE WANDERING SEA

In the early morning I walked along the beach
The surf and sand were silky beneath my toes

When the tide was low I could walk almost a mile in the ocean
with water only to my ankles

Waves had left on the beach seaweed and seashells
Seaweed spread on the sand was a banquet table

Sea birds were greedily scrabbling for fish or food
in the tingle weeds

`````````````````````````````````````````````````

Life is a mix of colors
Hues shading black to gray  -  dark to bright

As sunlight caressed the waves
Shades of gray change to hues of blue gold and pink

Revealing a heavenly twilight full of blazing colors
Untethered winds pirouettes across the sky

Birds soar their way across the breaking of day
Gulls and flowers flutter in the gentle breeze

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Listen you can hear the music of the ocean
Its song becomes a symphony echoing across the waves

I feel the ocean wind soft against my face
like God's fingertips on my cheek

The tide rolls in again
boisterous waves cleaning the beach of the leftover banquet

The ocean symphony becomes a love song
I hear you whispering my name in the ocean's wave

In the distance I see sailboats with full sails
The ever changing wandering sea fills me with a feeling of peace
