Voices Of The Sea ~Marge Tindal~ Down along the shoreline, where the land meets the sea, I went one night a'walking. The voices of the ocean sweeping over me, the waves did all the talking. I could only listen, and listen is what I did. The legends of the sea, beneath her waves, no longer hid. She told of hearts a'sailing out into the moonlit night. The raging waves of the ocean keeping them all in her sight. Crashing on the shoreline, bringing the tales to me. The mighty roar of the ocean, with all the secrets of the sea. Men on mighty ships who nevermore came home. Lover's on the shoreline waiting, left to cry alone. The sea in all her fury, isn't so bad after all. She returns on every tide change sharing the stories with us all. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Terrific write my friend. There are many tales that could be told I am sure but the trick is to learn to listen to the waves as they speak and to do that you almost have to become the pages for the tales. Beautifully presented as always. You can't discover new oceans if you are afraid to lose sight of the shore A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Hey, MArgie, you beach-walker It's me, the friendly sea. I'm tired of all these swimming fools Who always pee in me!! I'm tired of all the garbage dumped And all the toxic waste What's that? You say it ain't so bad? Why don't YOU take a taste? They say the beach is peaceful Filled with true serenity But when I moan at what they do I'm called the angry sea!!!!!!!!!!!  |

The old sea does have a lot of tales to tell, doesn't it? Another beautiful piece from you, Marge. Keep it up! "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

Melton~ Glad to stroke the memories. Thank you. Nan~ Oh ... go for it gal ! Perhaps in the chill of winter the ocean also gets lonely and throws out the calling voice. Thanks. LoveBug~ Indeed the stories are laid upon the sands with each wave that comes to shore. Thanks, little buggie ! ETHome~ Thanks, my friend. I have only to listen to the roar - and hear the tales rushing. Karilea~ Go West, young woman ! Tracie~ Thank you my always friend ! Serenity~ And for you ~serenity~ it should be. 10-4 on the Moses thing. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
