The Mighty Sea Is She

"the mighty sea is she"

mesmerizing is the body of ocean blue
bestowed upon me are sights and sounds
more than tides rolling to and fro
she is the mighty sea apart from earth and sky

beyond comprehension as I glance and stare
this wonder continues far and wide to infinity
more than the measure of water
the mighty sea is she being a world like no other

by day feel her warmth and touch of silk
by night experience her voice and power
more than what I could ever trace
she is the ocean blue that sparkles like a star

somewhere between golden sands and blue sky
somewhere between the shore and open sea
find me breathing living in wonderment
the ocean blue is she hosting a playground of life

for all her tides with sights and sounds
for all her warmth by day and power by night
this body of water calls to me with every reason
still the mighty sea is she holding all my dreams

Bill Baker Date: 8/23/2022 8:11:00 AM A FAV for me, Lisa. It's not old, it's beautiful. You've changed the way I look at Free Verse poetry, my friend. I have always liked rhyming poetry better until I started reading you enchanting, smooth flowing, rhythmic free verse poems. Thanks for helping me to grow in my poetry experience. Bless you sweet poetess. Hugs, Bill Login to Reply Lisa Ricci Date: 8/23/2022 11:15:00 AM Hello Bill. Thank you Thank you. Truly. I'm beyond honored. I very much like and respect structured formats as we all do but I really like free verse without restrictions. Thank you for also mentioning rhyme. I leave rhyming up to others but once in awhile I sneak it in (smile). Have a great afternoon. Blessings always.

You have a wonderful memory. Hi. Yes, Rhode Island it is. We do have our share of beauty with the ocean and beaches. We also have countryside too. The best part is the state is so small that it does not take long to get places. The longest would would one hour. Thank you for seeing this entry. May this day find you well and safe. Truly. Shalom Shalom Shalom with love and blessings always. (smile)
