 The bay is a bowl of midnight blue Here where I stand entranced by the view Under dreamy skies the timeless sea Stretches far beyond infinity Serene and calm, no hint of green Smooth as silk with translucent sheen So tranquil it is where wavelets flow Over the shores, murmuring low While curling smoke trails silver grey Pencil horizons a world away There phantom ships mystical as night Float gently into the dim twilight Rippling blue as far as I see Yet when the moon’s luminosity Caresses the surface where wavelets go Sparkling diamonds on the waters glow To the shimmer of moonbeams on a silver sea Oh, how beautiful the ocean can be... |

Heart2Heart - I love lighthouses, and this picture is just beautiful along with the writing. Also, I love the ocean, could sit for hours just looking out at it... BC |

Thanks Bill. You echo my thoughts, I love lighthouses myself, am fascinated by them. I've only been to the US twice in my life, but the first time (in 2004) I went for a holiday in Maine and did the grand tour of so many lighthouses. My dream is to buy an old and derelict lighthouse and renovate it, can't be too far away from civilisation though  There are many for sale where I am, and if you like the lonely life, this is ideal of course. Thanks again for the comment.Heart2Heart |

Your words move smooth and silky across the eyes, and the brain reading you H. Here's to you and your lighthouse one day. Cheers. |

I'm entranced! Even without the picture, I can feel the mystic movement of sea in these lines... there is nothing else like it in moonlit magic. Gorgeous penning. |

Rippling blue as far as I see Yet when the moon’s luminosity Caresses the surface where wavelets go Sparkling diamonds on the waters glow To the shimmer of moonbeams on a silver sea Oh, how beautiful the ocean can be... A breathtaking beautiful picture my dear with a delightful poem to tell the story. You wrote it so well. love. Lindsay |

Dreamlike, captivating and very refined poem, dear Katriona. Soothing words like serene waves lapping rhytmically at the shore ... Love, Margherita |

I was born in the mountains of Utah and didn't see the ocean until I was a grown up, I remember how thrilled I was the first time I saw it. You are soooo lucky to be able to see it oftan. Love your poem love 'un stuff Billie C. |
