Ocean's Song

Whispers drowned by ocean's sound
seagulls flying, space abound,
oceanic scent within the air
dance of waves in all its flair.

Somnambulant shadows 
under moonlit skies
castaway's drunken delirium
misty morning's stare sunrise.

Silent murmurs,
majestic surrounding never ending,
green-blue's, white spume.
beautiful and powerful language.

Silence, don't say a word,
I need to hear the ocean's song.

Tanya I enjoyed this piece. You mention free verse but you metered down nicely on the 1st stave and last line, with as in perfect iambic tetrameter. The first stanza had trochaic tetrameter [catalexis] which was cool, and line three was pentameter [catalexis] . You might have thought you "lucked" out but it is a gift. Not many people can just write this was naturally, so I applaud you.
