 Don't Blame The SeaThe sea is a kaleidoscope of colors, Painted in bright and delicate hues, Light green in the shallows, In the deep, the purest of blues. It can be so calm without a ripple, Or rage with great towering waves, She is one of the great wonders of nature, And in so many moods, she behaves. But in truth she's naturally gentle, Serene, peaceful and very frail. You see, it's the wind that drives her, With a gentle murmur, gust, or gale. When the strong winds calms down, Lessening their wicked force, The waves weaken and flatten, It is always a matter of course. If the wind dies down completely, Blowing only a gentle puff, The Sea responds immediately, And ceases to be so rough. The sea can be so dangerous, To those unwary fools, Who seem to take her for granted, And don't play by her rules. So you can see she is blameless, And we treat her so unfair, All of the problems with the sea, Are from the breezes in the air. © Mysteria May 10, 1999 midi: "Songchild" Dolphins Dreams graphic: "Seascape" Liz King - Freefoto.com If you have but one true friend when you die you were truly blessed |

Mysteria, you've gone into the heart of the ocean and uttered its murmurs... The sea (as you so very well painted) is as calm or as fierce as its elements. You have a way of going into the soul of whatever you write about. I stand and applaud with much admiration a work of natural art. Love and peace Maggie  |

Mysteria~ This is stunning~ 'If the wind dies down completely, Blowing only a gentle puff, The Sea responds immediately, And ceases to be so rough' The message here applies in so many elements of our lives~ Nicely done~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
