Primordial Waves

From within the flux its breath sweeps the shoreline, Sometimes spewing forth flotsam and jetsam Lolling us to sleep with its soothing savoury sighs. Its siren calls hypnotising the unwary and confidant. Drawing us to depths of hidden fury and peace. Scouring the lands with an insatiable appetite, Forever hungry, it’s stomach a pitiless pit of plenty. Its minions devouring the fallen. Lost in opaque screams. The rolling wave ripples through to the very soul, Its innocuous plate sparkles in white foamy trepidation. Beckoning us, taunting us, through its congenital self. Primordial waves bathe our lives as we search the shore. For peace, love and isolation, now flung and strewn. Where hope of salvage dwell in our beachcombing souls. We wish to return from where once we came, we lost embryos. Our mislaid mother calls, still we newcomers neglect her voice. 5th Aug 2013..........S.de Burca

This sure was an intriguing poem ... almost mystical with the way life beckons back toward the sea in your final lines. I liked the way you expressed this, Seosamh, especially with phrase like "soothing savory sighs". PS. I think you meant "bathe" instead of "bath" in one line ...
