The Black Sea

Over land and sea 
illuminating black pearls
reflecting memories 
back to me the warm 
breeze singing me tuneful 
melodies I crave the sullen 
hints of morning dew near dawn 
a playful harmony tasting 
the black sea sinking shoulders 
Caspian glows throughout 
The wide open granduer 
arousing the Indian Ocean 
capturing pure darkness eyes 
wide open arms out stretched 
welcoming this beautiful new day 
rising from the east melting 
the north star calmly comforting 
warm coastal waters of the west 
settled down within the midst of me

Now I want to visit the Black Sea. I like the accompaniment of the other seas. You seased the opportunity to add them as organs or chakras in a sense of unity through harmony. Being a water sign I find it comforting. Being a poet, I find it brilliant. Nicely done, Yolanda.

Dear Yolanda, I can almost feel the cool breeze of dawn on my skin, taste the dew's playful harmony, and sink into the vastness of the ocean. I love how you personify the sea, its "eyes wide open" welcoming the new day while the North Star offers a comforting presence. It is beautiful, thought-provoking poem. Your writing ignites the imagination and stirs the soul. - Blessings, Daniel
