The Sea

The Sea By Betty Harp Butler I think I had forgotten the beauty of the Sea, And also the infinity, With endless waves crashing near me. It must be a glimpse of heaven and eternity -- A window open for you, and for me Wave after wave near by, Coming from the line that reaches From the Earth to the Sky. Rolling, rolling and splashing on the shore. Then, reversing their course, and disappearing forevermore. Wave after wave, roll on and on, A lovely melody they sing – “Splish, splash, Splish,” and Then they are gone.

Betty, I am enchanted by the beauty and rhythm of your poem exalting the charms of the sea. This line especially tickled my imagination; "Wave after wave near by, Coming from the line that reaches From the Earth to the Sky." Brilliant poetic expression! I love the spirit of your artistic pen. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
