Kenneth Cheney Poet Free verse

To the Sea

I traversed to the sea once again
I’ve gone down to the sea
To let the rolling waves renew me
As they crash like a metronome 
Marking time for the slowest funeral dirge composed
All a part of the therapy I suppose
I sit and listen feeling alive and at peace
The waves continue lapping the shore
Their music doth my soul restore
The magic doesn’t lie within the sea or sand
But rather in the mind of me the man
The Sun sets in spectacular fashion
It’s as if it’s the only time it’s happened
For I now in the moment be
Eyes transfixed on shimmering seas
I will traverse to the sea once again
I’ll go down to the sea
You should come with me
