Ocean Sonata

I want to see the ocean and feel her cool caress; to dance inside her salty spray when she is at low tide; to feel her waves as they roll in; to leap at their approach. To jump those waves has got to be the ultimate fun ride. I want to see the ocean while lying on a beach; to view her sun-drenched splendor shimmering blue-green. As eventide approaches I want to see her too mirroring a twilight sky of crimson-tangerine. I want to see her day and night, but moody she can be! She rages with the tempests, but often she is calm. When zephyr whispers to her, I love her soft replies. I feel the freshness of her scent and know she is my balm. I want to see, to touch, to feel, and breathe the ocean in; to fall to sleep beside her when the misty-hued full moon reflects upon her cobalt depths, and when the night is warm, I want my dreams, like rippled waves, with her to be in tune!

“ i want to see her day and night, but moody can she be” i love that line and so much. I read this poem few times and was in awe of the imagery and depth and how beautifully it flows, and that last line too is stunning! Your oceanic wordplay is impeccable. Thank you for writing. Congratulations

So beautiful. I love this... the sea is like music, wind, the softest breath of fall... more wonderful than hearts recall. I love this so. God bless you always, Love, Gina

I loved your ocean sonata Ria. You are a gifted prolific wordsmith who could create verses in no time. I've been always inspired by the speed of your writing. In spite of being so busy to have to go for your reunion, your poetic rockery had bloomed with fresh new blossoms. I got the feel of being near the ocean and admiring the beauty. Hugs... ~ Ani
