More Felt Than Heard

The Sea sighs under distant skies, spinning stories of love and fear. And as the wind whistles tall tales, old seamen, cup their ears to hear. Prospects of fabulous treasures, gives imagination a stir. And like a siren, the Sea calls salty sailors to come to Her. She sings along with humpback whales, as they serenade Her with love. And at night, She dances with light, beamed from a glowing moon above. Her cascading waves raise spirits, only to watch them swiftly fall. For She's drowned many a poor soul, answering Her seductive call. She connects Her heart to your heart, through a language more felt than heard. And yet, some say She speaks clearly; without Her uttering a word.

I love your poem. It is written beautifully. The thing I love most about poems is how they go deeper than the words perceive. You have took that one step farther.
