I move gently with the tide
As it is guided by the moon
Many lovers walk beside me
Under love's spell they swoon

My color sometimes varies
From deep green to sapphire blue
I'll cool you down in Summer
As my waves envelop you

Many vessels travel upon me
Searching for a guiding light
Whales call to one another
Throughout the dead of night

Dolphins swim inside me
And the seabirds come to dine
I am home to many creatures
In the sunlight how I shine

And when the day has ended
After the sun has set on me
I'll rest beneath the moonlight
And stay as calm as I can be

* * * *

"I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you."

Sue, I'll keep writing about my gardens if you'll continue to share your ocean with me!  This is just beautiful and the picture is one I have not seen before. How I would love to snuggle under the blue of the sea.

Hugs for peace, Marti

I love the ocean, and now this poem.

Suetang-

I so love the ocean and your poem just made me want to be there.  I suppose I am a sucker for poems involving nature.  Now I can't wait to go to the beach.  Thank you and I would love to see this one in the book.

Sue:  This brings the ocean to me and makes me miss it all the more!  I haven't been to the Coast for almost two years and I'm really lonesome for it.  Maybe next year!
Lovely poem and picture.

Well, living on the beach as I do, I often her the ocean talking to me and now I know who's voice it really is. Very nicely done and the cadence of this piece is as soothing as the tide in the early a.m.  You most certainly have my vote.

I like this one.  Your surreal picture is also very beautiful.  You've done well with a tight form of verse in this poem.
