Ocean

Though the oceans are but a tide That ebbs and flows like all those thoughts Her words of wisdom forge past The banks of her now silent beaches Spreading a cool breeze to those Corners of her darkest nights Rivers of love flowing within She beckons me within myself Looking into the mirror of reflection That thirsty soul diving deep in Her water shines in glimmering splendor As she flows in feelings to re-engage Gusts of emotions blowing about Waves rising and ending in calm Tranquil heart within us dwells Like a pearl sacred in its shell 22.9.2021 Sponsor: Constance La France Contest Name: ‘O’ Contest New Poem

The personification of the ocean as a controlling but calming presence added an air an of serenity to your poem Carol. I really enjoyed the read. Cheers - Gary
