Ocean Life

Un-relentless wind blows upon the ocean air surf rolls in like thunder time and again White dots spray and scatter then disperse rocks worn by centuries of wave beatings the waves like a drum repeat-- beat after beat sea weeds dance and sway with the current Shifting sand dunes form new shapes Similarity to the moons lunar surface Seagulls cry and circle in huge flocks A daily meal found on the floor below Dark spots merge out of the water Not rocks but moving heads of seals Out hunting for their daily meals. Life around the ocean keeps moving Just like the daily tides that flow. 4/29/13

Beautiful and deep Phyllis, I love the slow motion imagery in my mind, after reading your poem. I have a tide inside me, one that keeps flowing like the ocean. I wish I could be like the sea. always~ FLOWING.... enjoyed~ LINDA

I like to walk along the sea's edge, watching the waves, hear the seagulls cry, pick fine shells or stones - but in the boat ..... oh ... I get so seasick. - I will be to your sandy beach Phyllis. - Beautiful poem. - (Read my "love letter" ..... it might give you a smile) - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
