Beyond the Sea Breakers
I
The turbulent, windy sea calls me,
where wild foam waves break on ageless rocks,
crashing unfailing, unfading, where sea birds
are singing from overhead, and great swirls of
whitecaps scream and above the sky is azure,
beyond the breakers.
II
And on a distant beach the sublime
waves cascade along a rocky shore and water
washes over the sand and I am swept away on
a voyage and I am tranquility and peace and lost
in the changeless flow that comes and goes always,
beyond the breakers.
III
Oh, sea waves endless, immortal in
time, crashing on weather-worn craggy cliffs,
rolling around and around, over and over echoing,
and falling back into the sea with a mighty whisper,
again and again, eternally plunging, and rumbling,
beyond the breakers.
IV
This is the sea with its infinite rhythm
of strength and power, boundless the roar of waves,
undulating and tumbling on breakers. I am enthralled,
with the energy, the sea gulls dance, with rollicking
exuberance. I stand on a breaker rock as the sea
washes over me and there is no end- no way to stop it,
beyond the breakers.
V
So, mesmerizing is this awe-inspiring
majestic, beautiful, wild sea, timeless and free, and
forever. Oh, the beckoning sea caressing breakers
created by nature- it stirs me to tears this sea that
goes on beyond the horizon. The long screech of a
sea bird distracts me and I am lost in the moment,
beyond the breakers.
