I the Ocean
I the ocean
watch sailing ships
in the salty air
pass over me
I hold mystery from
the cusp of the moon
an endless view
for all to see
Where laughing gulls
sit on driftwood,
my crashing waves deliver
to shore
Where Great Blue Heron
stalk the beach
Where the tide pools
gather in the rocks
Sandpipers dodge
the under toe
as wind collides my waves
with land
Leaving sea shells broken
in scattered pieces
of color in the sand
Lonely in winter time
on barren sand dunes,
my starfish lie
as if fallen from the sky
I am vast enough
for the moon to see
as it moves me
through the seasons
Heidi Sands
Written - 1990's
