ocean's majesty...

  whitecaps foam...roaring shoreward 
  
    ...gently lapping sand

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...

Azure sky’s 
full moon 
glitters on
cobalt sea.

Shoreward ship’s
ancient mariner
comes home.

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.

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"...

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. :)...

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...
