Mistress of the Sea

Song of the waves beckon
                           the heart calleth, deep unto deep
                                captive mistress of the sea




  This poem is dedicated to the fisrt time I saw
the ocean. I watched the sun rise over the Alantic Ocean.
I remember I stood there looking over the ocean, 
and it seemed as though the whole world held its breath,
 and then the sun came up! I was her captive from that moment.

Reminds me of a Moody Bliues tune - "Voices in the Sky" where the singer intones that "I lie awake with the sound of the sea calling to me" Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
