Ocean

Oceans' august waves, born when time began, peaceful, serene as they whisper to land. Caressing sand, a gift of starfish shells, their music heard, a concerto of swells. Stormy, jet black seascapes, blustery nights; Ships and storms eclipsing in epic fights. Neptune roused to lead his bold, thrashing tide, lives on the line, nightmares riding astride. Oceans' ebb and flow present in our lives. Emotions spill like angry, disturbed hives. When skies meditate with warm, gentled sun, passions are softened, Ocean's songs are sung.

I not surprised you won Ann. Your Ocean poem is simply beautiful. Congratulations on your well deserved win! I absolutely love the ocean and as I read each line it took me away in sounds and visions. Cheers my friend :-)

Dear Anne, I just found your comments. Like a dummy, I had forgotten the name of this poem that I wanted to send to an artist friend. Thank you so much for liking it. I wish I could visit the ocean more often. :)

Really lovely Ann, love the last two lines “When skies meditate with warm, gentled sun, passions are softened, Ocean's songs are sung.” Congratulations on your top spot win in Constance’s contest… Belle

Thank you, Belle. It's ironic: I live in the southwest desert and win with a poem about the ocean! I'm honored.
