Wind whips at the sea and she crests in anger
at the will of the life force that puts her on edge
for placid of nature she’d much rather flow
straight to the shore like a woman adored.

No friend the wind to pierce through her heart
and bleed her frustrated womanhood feel
into the rough of an unsettled life
like a figment created for picturesque worth
and not for the using, the feeling, tasting.

Sea sprays her ire right up to the sky
but it crashes back down into her mass
swallowed and swallowed so she can begin
making slow rolls towards calm repose.

Night hastens to come and relieve the sun
for the sentry of day no help in the fray
and the sea bids the night be her lover
to still the frenzy within.

Night settles at last on the sea’s many fears
the promise of peace still yet to be
and the sea believes like the seer in me
that everything comes to he who believes.

Meanwhile the rain and just so you know
tomorrow the wind will blow yet again!

Cynosure for sure.

Love this write,
the sea the shore and the wind.

I think you are right, dear Helen.

You explore the sea's depth and yours quite beautifully.

Love,

We humans are but a thought tossed onto the beach from the sea's dreams of life.

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting and, Linda, thank you for popping in to dream time. The book was done a long time ago almost as if in another life.

But it's still there to mark that life and, hey, so am I - wonders never cease.
