Magnificent seas

"lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding, " NIV Psalms 148:8

The roaring of the ocean is overtaking me
Winds aloft are soaring, chasing clouds out to the sea
Water swells are roaring high; they beat upon my door
Waves of force like dragon's breath pound sharply at my shore.

Come sit with me upon a rock; you will surely see
The waltz of God in fury; He storms across the sea
He cleanses earth; gives rebirth; I calmly watch it all
On my beach as sea gulls screech I see a cold night fall.

I hear whispers from your soul, beyond the farthest star
Why do you haunt me? I walk alone, not where you are?
If I could find a little peace I'd rest ever more
Now I dance to energy, the ocean at my door.

Come lie with me upon the sand; fuse your soul in mine
Let us two be new grains of gold upon the beach of time
We will view the highest blue; search for a distant star
Into heavens over seas, find new peace where you are.

The roaring of the ocean is overtaking me
Winds aloft are soaring, chasing clouds out to the sea

Into heavens over awesome magnificent seas.

Newell Hi there this I love, the perfect description of a storm across the sea. Very descriptive, you do excel in writing these word pictures, painting a canvas with vibrant and clarity. I applaud you for your skill.

Excellent writing well done


Love and warm stuff
As always

at every pore with instant fires

Thank you, Bonnie for stopping by. This Poem was written for an aging widow who lives alone on an isolated strip of northern Pacific coast. The ocean is her life and she writes poetry about the seas. And she is an admirer of my poetry. She sends me many photos to give me inspiration. Thanks for your wonderful comments.
