Premium Member Destination Known

The path is shady
    the gait, shaky
  Destination known
    elicits a moan

  Tried to turn back
    behind me all black 
  The only way, forward
    to the vast sea, shoreward

Premium Member Shoreward Ship

Azure sky’s 
full moon 
glitters on
cobalt sea.

Shoreward ship’s
ancient mariner
comes home.

Spring Forward

This winter I am so much over
I need to run out in the clover
Time for spring to forward
Maybe I'll just move shoreward
And spend my time as a fearful rover.

Premium Member Lure of the Sea

Shoreward she wafts
  faint smile flutters next her lips
wave-enveloped, lurid flesh revealed
  enigmatic, wind-whipped ballet...

Ghostly arms, tapering to a scepter-finger
  limbs commence, melt into silent surf
cruel lips, melt into silent surf
  whisper, "Love me, Disembody, Love me"

Premium Member Les Algues

Les Algues

I have no heart
Without a mind
I stand alone
Next to my kind.
Near rocky beds
I still survive
Dormant at night
Yet much alive.

I can hide many
Might save a few
With higher reach
A better view.
I have no sight
So cannot rave
I feel the sun 
I know the waves.

With current’s flow
I lose my grip
Float upward now
On foaming spit.
Shoreward bound
My fate decreed
Les algues de mer
French for seaweed. :)


Creator and Created

Unbound universe shimmering Fiery orb of heat and light This earthly ball's rotation Oceans crashing shoreward Majestic mountains rising Mighty rivers rolling Fruited plains abound From molecules, the gift of life explodes Fragile, persistent, prolific The genomes exactly followed With existence comes awareness Then a searching for its meaning An epiphany, realization Praising, thanking, loving Creator and created Magnificent Glory found
