Longing for the Sea |

She can be a moody goddess Not easily restrained Her grace much the same way, Not easily obtained And her beauty, like formless water Can never be contained The raging waves and sometimes Her mirror-like calm face Speak volumes of the nature of Her testament to patience and haste And the way she drowns me deep within Leaving nigh of a trace By her whims I take my leave Allowed to live or die O, but to explore her fathom reaches Where her dark secrets lie I knew that I were to be held spellbound From the first I heard a seagull cry Though far from her restless shores With no sail to catch a salty breeze, Not even one mariner left to brave the storm And no ship to carry me Know I that the Earth could no longer hold, My longing for the sea |

By her whims I take my leave Allowed to live or die O, but to explore her fathom reaches Where her dark secrets lie I knew that I were to be held spellbound From the first I heard a seagull cry Though far from her restless shores With no sail to catch a salty breeze, Not even one mariner left to brave the storm And no ship to carry me Know I that the Earth could no longer hold, My longing for the sea =================== this is a very impressive piece of writing... outstanding elemental and ethereal imagery... and poetically perfect employ of metaphor. Also excellent expression of the emotions.. the longing and angst is written with depth and intensity... this one goes in my library for future reading pleasures superb poetry Moregoth jm We wish ourselves beautiful, |
