The Sea

The sea sings its endless songs 
over the rocks.
The waves kiss like a soft rain
the beach in their way.
Red flowers of water 
are blooming in the storm.  
The sky  is  desperate
about the sun,
scorching the day with thousands candles.
But the sea sings its songs
of light and of hope.
The sea rises its voice,
cover the wet altars
between sand and vibrating air,
and a far distant horizon
captivates the ardent sky.

Perhaps it is this song that you describe so beautifully that has always drawn me to the sea, Gert. Truly a gifted poet. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Love, Carolyn
