The sun is setting
Incoming tide laps my feet
My thoughts turn to God...

Naked dunes recline and off the headland 
Spume and dolphin fins hammer rocks, 
Smithereens spraying skywards, 
A roar of thunderous aftershocks. 
Creeps in the tide and out again, 
Leaving vortex swirls upon the sand, 
Patterns changing, Neptune's scrawl, 
Reclaiming atoms of the land. 
The waxen...

O souls of the Island, 
I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas, 
away from 
mint-marine 
silhouettes of my
utopian wonderland, 
as strawberry 
ripples and 
coconut-scented 
musings called 
upon my 
flamboyant spirit, 
to explore those
ebony-emeralds 
of universe and...

A fresh sun dawning
Upon the white washed seashore
Glistens hope once more...

The deepest ocean
Becomes shallow at the edge
How deep will you go?










Co-inspired by Raul's contest and by our minister's talk today on Integral Spirals of
Consciousness, going higher and deeper in stages and states....

Escape
Away from here
To the sea of Your grace
To assuage my fatigue in
Seascape.

Watching
An ocean calm
Just for a while, breathing
Salty sea, its moisture a balm
Healing.

Restores
forlorn spirits
Hearts that couldn't give more
With the distant song of whales to
Their love.

Escape
To meet You here
In the peace of this place
That restores my...

At the packed coastal beach, scents of chrysanthemums’ incenses
Adorned the cool sea breeze, perfuming my mollified senses
The late afternoon sun burned gently, its flames caressed my skin
Snowy clouds ambled the cheery skies, dressed in crystalline blues.
Its picturesque mirrored by the unruffled sea, as I took...

From the depths of choppy waters,
Emerges the shell of man.
Draped in an aquatic robe,
Deliberately...making his stand.

With New York at his shoulders,
And the Big Apple by his side.
His robust presence emerged,
Creating...the evening tide.

The sun boldly illuminates,
The way for birds to fly.
As the world protrudes the heavens,
Through...

Oh, how you loved it, puppy,
When first you saw the beach.
“Sit, stay, don’t dig the sand.”
I had so much to teach.

You barked and rolled and chased the crabs
And snapped at flying foam.
And fell asleep within my arms
As I gently walked you home.

We took long walks...

On wings of whisper seagulls rise
Like an unhurried, gracious fleet
Which sails upon a sea of sighs
And takes my dreams away with it. 

The clouds and waves anoint the sky
With drops of myrrh and hues of blue
Whose colors blend and tower high,
While masts glide free and...

I stand upon St David's Head, alone,
Invigorated by the salt sea spray.
I watch the setting sun sink into the sea,
Gilding the waves as they die on the shore.

The tide advances in the little bay
And eddies swirl around a lonely rock,
Its outline dark against the sparkling...

The sea paints an ever-changing portrait of itself in water colors.
The images roll through your view finder or your eyes as you watch.
Sometimes it is glassy silky smooth, syrupy, reflective.
You get to paint the sky twice, once above, once reflected.
Else, the surface is rippled and...

Quick and slow, pulsed to jibe and rudder
Late dancing in the luminous waves
The boats angle the cresting froth tops

Sails arched, full burst in the briny
Air paces vastly to horizon’s rim
The hazing glow of sky to sea

They bob and streak, the prows steadfastness
Each sailor guides to...

Frothy whitecaps fill the horizon,
waves crashing against the sand;
a painters view.

Capturing the blue, green, and grays
of the turbulent sea;
a canvas awaits.

Sea birds diving, casting shadows,
interrupting the light;
a brush poised.

The roaring sound of the water
fills this painter's ear;
a picture appears.

The rumble of the sea
is not easily...

Warmth from the sun at mid-day
Wave after wave from the sea
Sand in the wind and salt spray
Weather shaped rocks of beauty...
