For Those Locked In An Escape
As life is in chaos and the times are stressed here are four Sonnets of the Sea to allow your mind and soul to escape...May peace and blessings come to all in these the times we find ourselves
One With the Sea
Alone on the seashore often I roam
When night's horizon glows a velvet red
Where peace is found in the waves soft foam
And visions begin to play in my head
I walk to weathered music's feathered waves
As they thin on the sand, pull away
To erase my steps to vanishing graves
The sea will remain unchanged when I leave
As it captures the tossed old restless sand
It cares not for me, nor will ever grieve
When my numbered days bury me with land
To be one with the sea where I am small
Feel the rhythm of the waves, hear its call
Sea Shell
To find myself hollow in the vast sea
And float endlessly in its currents strong
Swept up and down in the vastness I see
Lost in the ebb and flow while dragged along
To land onshore, be broken asunder
Another lost shell in a sea of sand
Beneath a sky of colors, I wonder
If I would be saved by a passing hand
Tossed and tumbled under each coming wave
To sense the end of my days are now clear
A wish, silent eyes may find me to save
A grip from a gentle child's hand so near
I find that I am now able to tell
This story, when a child's hand saved this shell
Reflections at the Sea
Gentle winds caress my wrinkled old skin
As I slowly sink in sea's softest sand
Seabirds gliding flight I see once again
Beyond gray contours where the sea touch land
Soft silhouettes float as birds claim their space
And I silently stare upon this view
I find a warmer edge as eyes embrace
To know as you, I am just passing through
A moment cherished to what may become
To wonder if my place in life's decree
To hear the music of the waves soft strum
Like those souls who stood here long before me
As beautiful colors float in my mind
To hope the next old soul reflects in kind
Bird Shadows
Across the warm pebbled shore, seabirds glide
To splay moving shadows of dark on sand
And fill my eyes under a sky so wide
As I lay beneath its long endless band
To feel life's spirit wondrous restful pause
Fill the soul with the peace of mind that's bound
From all the moments of perpetual cause
To hear whispered sighs from my breathing sound
As I lay still in rhythms with the waves
Unearth reasons from my life I relive
To release tension, my mind always saves
And lighten the burdens of days I live
To reach a depth where dark and light converge
And touch bird shadows, with my eyes they merge
be safe...peace and blessings to all
