The Lighthouse
by M. L. Kiser
She glows bright across the sea;
Night siren calling to ships;
Her voice rides the ocean air;
She’s a life saver.
Once her kind needed man’s help;
Now automation rules...

There is a full moon tonight,
a perfect height over the sea.
It gives a soft, glowing light
through the skylight above me.

Tidal
by George Jeffries
Bare feet on white sands;
White skies, white trees.
Watching as rolling foams
Creep in gentle tributaries,
Washing blue beneath naked heels.
The first wave: gentle touch,
Tender as inquisitive hands.
Withdrawing....

Stroke

Stroke
symphony of hands
on keys
trembling
strings and vibrations
whispered notes
floating in the wind
hands tap dancing
Anticipation at dusk
a stroke
of genius
on musical canvas

Good Medicine
by M. L. Kiser
Seagulls sailing by;
Ruffle my hair with
A soft winging song;
Heard only by my
Listening spirit.
Salty scents waft
From the water;
I find repose
Here by the sea.
It’s embrace
Warms...

Shhhhhhhing through the forest scrub.

Haunted Ocean

Haunted Old Ocean;
Specters swim throughout the sea;
For many a good ship has,
Met its final doom;
Within the tempestuous,
Waters and cannot move on.
On stormy nights you

Rare
by Alex Jade
We,
We are alone, together.
Yes, you.
Floating,
Bobbing like buoys.
It's strange,
That I am not alone
In this ocean.
Bubbling to the surface.
We,
Now together,
Looking out to the mist
Smelling harsh salt and...

The grip

Not to hurry
Not too safe
Not to leave
And NO...
