Impressionable Shores

Perhaps, it is the savage motion of her waters deep
Articulating all of life, relentless in her gain and reach
A power unmatched, witness to creation
Irreverent; controlled, then uncontrollable
Imbuing sensation

Silent lullaby or total crushing annihilation
Cupped green or blue, duality in personification
Yet far from view, edict of the sun, she stirs
Harboring in tranquility, secrets none can know defers
Transporting berg and boulder, rocking ship and shoulder
Cooling the magma brow of raw earth,
Lifting up islands from uneven girth

Awaken then, Theologian, to walk her moors
An endless journey the heart implores
For every secret time explores
To rise and set her moonlit shores
Then touch the sands, where once she lay
Each wetted hour the fates obey

The stillness wont tell you  what the deep water knows. Enjoy your writing

You know I do love your poetry when it has
a rhythmic beat to it...always a pleassure
to read and savor, like swirling a bit of
wine before the meal is served.
