Theotokos: The City Beneath the Sea
At 10,911 meters beneath the Pacific veil, where no submarine dares dream, I descended into the throat of Earth— into the trench men call Mariana, but spirits call Theotokos. There, the water was not water— it was glass that hummed. The ocean floor rose like a palace, built of crystal bones and music stones— a cathedral of sound and secrets. They called it the House...

Premium Member Bride of the Sea
Ships sink to bottom in billowing sea; "It's in that number," apparent to some; Walking the coast, "I'm no widow," said she; Either await or admit it won't come. How many years did she wait for that ship? Youthful and vibrant to aged and gray; How many courses of life she let slip, Married to breakers that crash on the quay. Surely, we...

Walk the Sea
Life can call us, to walk on water, To rise and face the daunting danger. Our safety and security lie in Him alone, On waters deep, His favour is shown. To step in ways not tried before, Or walk where none have dared explore. Yet faith makes easy what seems steep, His Voice guides where trust runs deep. Peter heard and left...

The Sun and the Sea
The Sun and the Sea— a blessing on this perfect day, while seagulls sing their wild, untamed song. There’s something here, in this Mediterranean way, a peace that settles—deep, and pure, and strong. We breathe it in, this life beyond compare, somewhere between the places we have known. It teaches us how small the world, when seeds of wonder’s sown. And in this ease, a thought begins...

Back Against The Sea
Now and then the ocean is a blur in footprints so quickly nothing, spurred against that wild channeling — God, she took my memory, her baggy tides overrun, seaweed returned in the surf, serendipitous stun, How to follow you in your deep sea tomb — Sometimes I breathe in water to breathe in you, the gray ocean like a rod...

lost children of the sea
“Children of the Sea, is a song about ecology". - Excerpt from a 2006 interview for Toazted, where Dio explains the message he wanted pass to the world with the lyrics of the song Children of the Sea. -------------------------------------------------------------- Climbing mountains we crush the ice Reaching beyond skies we blind the earth Digging to touch core we lick clean Soiling the soil the seas,...

The sea refuses no river, Even if it could, it never Showed resentment I learned how to hide my feelings, The emotional game became a contest, I start with a genuine smile, My pearly whites, my body postures, I have given my oppressor over the years Inner satisfaction, they thought that they had won Because the counting was yet done We have learned...

I Vent My Anger To The Sea
I was born and always lived In the Surigao Strait, this stormy sea, On the shore there are usually trees, When there is a storm and the noise of the trees, It's an extraordinary feeling. I always came to the cliff in the evening To a deserted place and shouted to the sea That there...

I'm Talking To The Sea
I see the sea is good But the ocean is even better Both beauty is superb It makes me fell complete In the morning, at dawn In the afternoon, in the night In the evening, in the twilight In its magical reflection, serene In the sounds of the waves, peace I can talk to Him anytime....

The draw of the Sea
The sea laps the shore, whilst the sand receeds into its cold blue temptress. Oystercatchers sqwark, their long beaks beaconing the summer solstice. Upon the clifftops, weathered walkers feel the breeze, adrift by sundown. Day 0 - End to End Trip Poetry Works. 04.30.2025...

Why Do I Love The Sea
Why do I love the sea? It's because it has power Something beautiful things To make me think about it When I am near the sea I just think of nothing But awe and admiration to it Enjoy the moment looking to it My faith and desire just wander My thoughts spread like sheet In the vastness of the sea My hope sprung up and...

Premium Member Place By the Sea
I once had a special place by the sea; A quiet get away where I loved to be; My favorite place for God and me. A solemn place, most Devine And serene, free of people for a season. The only sounds I heard were occasional fog horns, the roaring of the sea, and the still small voice of God. It was...
