Allure of the Sea
The Sea summons sailors: sending waves
lapping at curiosity's shores.
And offering a world without doors;
She harbors treasures and salty graves.
She's often as gentle as the breeze
rippling across Her watery face.
Yet, this lady of beauty and grace,
is known to be a fair-weather tease.
Although easily riled by the wind:
She reflects the moon like a mirror.
And brings opportunities nearer;
upon which a seaman's hopes are pinned.
She wears colors, from aquamarine
to turquoise, chartreuse, and indigo.
And is filled with wonderment and woe;
not Hell nor Heaven, but in-between.
Many feel the allure of the Sea,
as She tugs upon their hearts and souls.
And from Her depths, to Her shallow shoals;
She exerts a sensuality.
