Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
The sea has many moods
It can give the shore a gentle kiss
Its wave can get angry as it broods
Its power is futile to dismiss
As it lashes the shore with a hiss
White
sand beach,
alive with
laughter, children's
squeals, grown-up shouts, the
swoosh, swoosh of waves against
the shore, a distant rumble
of thunder - symphonic sounds of
summer on a sweltering July
day in the Sunshine State of Florida.
DARK NIGHT AT FREEDOM BAY
By the shore a spotlight searches the sea.
Those treacherous rocks wouldn't let you be.
You head toward the jagged knife.
One inch more you’d lose your life.
I say goodnight, turn out the light…I’m free.

Gemstones on a shoreline
maladjusted to the saltiness of fallen tears
basted in the din of sunbeam atoms colliding
the neap, a resting time from mortal waveforms
towed beneath the sanded plasma of sinking unblown glass
a final lash, a glinting sorrow, an eternal goodbye
so many facets unturned, a reminder of the emptiness
no shimmer on the barren plains of shore, a reflection
of the once and final aortic beat
A lazy leaf-laden river
Snakes around a sandy shoreline
While copulating dragonflies
Fly over near-stagnant water
In aimless zigzag ecstasy.
Dozens of stout brown birds skimming
The surface, ascending slightly,
Than dipping incredibly low
Miraculously avoiding
Contact with the wet surfactant.
Along the shore a raft of ducks
Noisily swim by in a queue
Seemingly like some summertime
Carnival shooting gallery.
Into Nothingness
Near the shore a seagull called me
To take a walk under her spread-wing,
I heard the waves called me too!
The sea breathed out the wind, and
I listened to the murmurings of her splashing billows,
My heart found a repose in her vastness,
she sang my hymn of life,
I knew the grandeur of the sea and my being
Could be transformed into nothingness, that
could travel to the furthest end where exists
Only an essence of supreme sublimeness!
Seashore Summer
Humid August nights and the heat stands still
Starfish trapped on beaches wait for low tidepools to fill
~
Summer phosphorus float like stardust on the tides
Then leaves a sparkling footprint on seashores to abide.
~
Rippled sands can't wait to meet a sly and bold blue wave
Who steals kisses from the shore - a stargazer knave.

A word in phrase has laid him low
From Milton, Keats, and Longfellow
He tried alas to make a stand
Upon this shore, a foreign land
He fired back a thousand quotes
With soliloquies and antidotes
But the fight had wore him thin
Becoming clear he could not win
And as he laid his body down
Among dead words all scattered round
His eyes then, skyward looked
As he clutch His precious book.
And the Saints who saw his smile
Sent to retrive him, Oscar Wilde
