I sit at the edge of the sea's
thundering waves.
Endless profusion
of rolling, foamy tendrils,
crashing, one upon the other.
Seafoam white and misty green-
Each wave forming high,
then white waters edging
each swell,
as the wave increases in
intensity,
only to end as a gentle
trickle at my feet.

I am overcome at this
magnificent wonder,
that God has made.
The vastness of the sea.
My spirit is touched,
and I am deeply moved,
as I realize the fullness,
of the blessings and the love,
that fills my life,
and the profound gratitude
I feel, as I realize
that my cup runneth over
as vast as the sea.

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Ellie,
You have captured so well the restless motion of the boundless sea, and have made a great comparision, We are blessed beyond measure, yet we so often forget where these blessing come from. Thank you for the beautiful reminder!

Ellie~
This is simply alive with imagery of beauty.
I felt the gentle swelling of the sea rise
up within the pictures in my mind.

Very, very awesome.
Nice job, poetess.

Oh Ellie, Great Job!! Write more like this!
...you've penned some awesome thoughts and scenes...the enormous wave with force and power, "only to end as a gentle trickle at my feet." Profoundly beautiful as you fill my cup with your poetic gratitude, "as vast as the sea". Lovely in every way and a wonderful joy with this style of poetry, done so very well. Love, Marcy
