The Stirring Sea

The sea is
stirring,

Whisked by the winds
Climbing on like
giants
By each wave,
See how it
hurries by 

                   
                   
    The sea is
stirring,

Pawed by the sailors
Rushing on like
ghosts
With each wave
See how it pounds

                   
                   
   The sea is
stirring,

Black like the
thunderous gales
Cornered by full
hales
In each wave
Drowning into the
world

                   
                   
   The sea is
stirring,

Highly like rushing
fire
Kindled by the bare
earth in the abyss
Watching like still
eyes
Feel how it throbs

                   
                   
   The sea is
stirring,

Bursting like a
tattered melon
Swollen more under
pelts of rains
Rolling away,
rolling away
Sought by the
stylish firmament

                   
                   
   The sea is
stirring,

There is goes, there
it goes
Yearning for the
hues of half-golden
years   
‘Standing on the
shore.’
It’s not a secret
any longer
This tale will soon
form o'er,
Like the dry and
cold wind

I have yet to see

The stirring sea.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
