Thrill of the Sea

I venture forth, untethered from mainland’s shores to my soul place, cradled between sea and sky an ocean sanctuary where seagulls soar to sail these vast waters makes my heart alive the thrill of salt smells, rising swells, distant roars of pounding waves, in sun’s bright rays, I’m revived for underneath this grand horizon I’m free to worship God who made the majestic sea.

Laura, your description of this spot is lovely. For some reason, spell check kept telling me "untethered" is not a word, but I knew what you meant. It was very difficult for me to judge this contest because contestants wrote so many incredibly beautiful poems. It's my hope that all of them will regard their entries as wonderful "stand-alone" poems. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn

Thank you, Arbol! We have a sailboat here in California, so we are lucky to enjoy short trips to Santa Catalina Island! :)

I do love the ocean; the smell, sound, warmth and sun; those silky waves washing over my feet and legs...ahhhh; you've painted it beautifully.

WoW! Laura, I wrote about the same theme. But I must admit I liked yours much better. Your detailed descriptions made your poem come alive. I could just picture the whole scene.I love the ocean and this well written piece conveys why I love it so. In my eyes this is a winner. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
