I gaze into the distance
past the white caps
and sapphire skylines
and my breath draws sharp

I am taken aback,
the beauty
of her simplicity
overwhelms me

She is majestic

as though royalty
adored by many who would
hold her as their own

but she is a mighty temptress
luring lost souls
calling them unto her
with her siren songs
and the promise of the unknown;

few have ever escaped her hold
although all stand in awe
of her power and grace.

She is moody and shows many faces,
yet I understand the depths of her

the transitions
from light to dark;
the calm before the storm
when she swirls
twirling in dance
like a gypsy free
mesmerizing me

with her tempest crescendos
fading to gentler melody
where she comes to rest
upon the shores

only to slowly return
with the tide
to the azure horizons
where my heart is held
forever more.

Donna, talk about mesmerizing imagery! Lady, this is gorgeous, and one for MY library. Neither of us seems to have as much time as before to 'hang out' but it sure feels good to read you and an honor when you read and reply to anything of mine. Warm hugs to you.

This poem really works for me. I liked its meter - and the horizon it showed me.
