voice of the ocean ...

a cool wind whispers through the open reeds
in joyful unison singing their sorrowed songs
skirting above dunes tanned of rising sand
zephyred salt-spray coats the air thick

a lonely gull hovers above an intended strike
its squinting eye tells of brisk's briny bite
his wonder of where goes sun's warmth and light
as the gray horizon meets the blackened sea

a season's change on the jet stream ways
to this landscar on the water's bright days
gives my beach of near-winter's touching
gusts pushing my wings in defiance of flying

so there you are, oh voice of the ocean
come to play among us hiding little notions
a bellowing gale scurries upon your whispers
carry me on 'til a return to your waters

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

I love the ocean, this is one I read over and over again.

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses
over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

The ocean never ceases to amaze us. A great write very close to most hearts.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)
