James Fraser Poet Quatrain

After the Oceans Are Gone - Act 1

I awoke from my slumber
After many weeks
Entranced by unknown
Slept in dormant sleep

But on the morning i awoke
Was not like the rest
There was no sound of the ocean
And its watery zest

The deafness of the breakers
And the waves lapping the shore
Were non existant
Not like the day before

Intrigued by the silence
The noise of it all
As i viewed from my balcony
The ocean in fall

A scape never seen
Befell my eyes
Depths incomprehensible
As deep as our skies

A wreck i once dived
Was visible to me
All life was gone
From its expanse so free

I fall to my knees
As i stare into the abyss
My mind in disarray
Wondering, did it ever exist

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2010 at 1:29 PM It still exists, James, but perhaps not for long given the way we are abusing nature. I could see the sea sinking in your poem and it evoked much sadness and regret for the tremendous damage we have done to our environment. Excellent piece, Highlander. Love, Carolyn
