Arlene Smith Poet Verse

Living Sea

Living Sea

Taking breath
as ebb and flow of tides;
soft or crashing waves her beating pulse.

Gentle host; dancing explorers across her back;
swallowing undesired guests to her darkest depths.

Mother to exotic life unknown;
guarding her babes; she's our
living sea.

Andrea Dietrich June 15, 2014 at 12:46 AM you had some unique lines in this poem that I really liked, such as waves as the beating pulse of the sea and the middle two lines, both were so great to show contrast of good and bad with the sea.
