Essentials

"essentials" each time with you my breath is taken away such wonder to see ivory open and free splendor journeys beyond grass reaching golden sands essential are you to my true existence never is there a time I question your being tides flow from the shore touching my soul I inhale inch by inch and mile by mile ancient codes reveal mystery time after time living among the world at sea salt travels from your body of water to the body of me SkyWatcher for the ocean of course

The mood here is like getting away on a tropical island and soaking in the atmosphere of ocean and sand. Makes me jealous when I look out my window and see winter's back side mooning me. Great poem. Emile.

The ocean gives such peace and so necessary to our existence. Beautiful in it's execution, perfect Acrostic, and the pattern of the verse is plain to imagine the lapping of the ocean ripples on the shore. Thanks for sharing Lisa

What a beautiful love acrostic for an entity I also love with heart and soul. I especially love how you write this in almost one sentence, breathless like waves rolling ashore

I do enjoy a great acrostic, and this is no exception! The oceans are truly a wonder of this world! I know Darren White would also love this poem you have crafted! I think he may have been a penguin in a previous life. Haha. Lovely work, Lisa.

I absolutely love the way you talk about the ocean. You breathe it in as if it were as essential as the air we breathe and you embrace and revere it as if it were as fulfillingly enigmatic as the mysteries of the universe:) Amitiés
