Lullaby Of The Sea

The calm cool waters of the bay
Are clear and blue by light of day
But when the night begins to fall
The sea begins its goodnight call

As gentle trade winds start to blow
The moon brings forth a gentle glow
Its mellow light shines mystically
And glistens softly on the sea

Beside the shore the air is kissed
By cool and salty ocean mist
Where tiny bits of star light play
Across the waters of the bay

The waves then start to play a tune
While dancing underneath the moon
The surf brings every note ashore
To place them at the ocean’s door

When the tide comes rolling in
The waters sing of where they’ve been
A lilting song of far away
That softly calls and seems to say

"Dream with me my tired friend
Until the night comes to an end
Let me wash your cares away
And rock you here ‘til break of day"

So if at night you look for me
Upon the shore is where I’ll be
A place where I can close my eyes
And hear the sea’s soft lullabies

Steve, I could read your lullaby poetry ad infinitum (Latin "forever").

It soothes my soul and makes it smile.



With love and admiration,

A FAN

Sigi Sewasham,I do not know if you and the others understand the Water Magic is strong at this time,we feel the mystery call of the secrets that need be shared of ancient days and ancient ways,but my friend you do hear her!
blessings

The perfect poem with the perfect pic!
A keeper indeed.
Well done Sir!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

you had me with the title...love the sea/ocean, unforgettable love is her trademark, fiercely determined to project
an enigmatic identity...so much about self can be learned from the sea....

Beautifully written, very much enjoyed
