Hearing an echo force answering the sea
Idly floating with mermaid green…hair
Alarming beauty, lips of chamomile
Foaming foundation thickening blues lucent
Bringing things remembered…shouldered…prudent
Seen…her actions brewing
Hearth and powders from her womb saline
Leaning this way and that…in-between worlds
Surrounding me encircled….
Her gallery lit with copper gusting sandstones
Through her doorways, water pours
Swirling hues and colors, prose dripping from her tongue
Marvel her embroidering of change pertinent and sung
Like a million flutes orchestrating a lover’s warm arms
Her plumage breathes impetuous thoughts
All gathered at her feet, as afternoon keeps impulsive watch
Her aspiration reveals a dream…
Where ornamental jewels of things unseen are
Wearing next to nothing except an albatross
Soaring above her emerald swells of mountainous waves
Where in lies the expertise of God’s own craft
Wetted cloths and blistered hands
Numbered sleepless nights, distinction breathing in my soul
Living with seas and ocean deep, my journey…
Such beauteous touching crystalline waves,
On a canvas flooding continents, carving life
With quiet smiles, perfect in His greatest art
I therein am counterpart…..
Now you know the whole story.

Very nicely writ.  So well that I actually had to think what a couple words meant.  nice job.  not many people can do that to me.

Sometimes you can't change what's going to happen but you can change how you percieve it.

Thanks very much to all of you...I do so enjoy the sea/oceans....so marvelously full of all emotions, teaching much about nature...contributing the the necessary essense of life, without it we would die...
Been so drawn to the water since a little child...like a magnet stuck to a refrigerator. Smiles and hugs, sending good wishes for peace and love to you all.
