The sun is a true end,
she said,
laced with small beginnings.
(I had asked her hand to know)
She removed. She left the pier.

Turned to watch the ocean set.
Colors spilled their inky stars.
Traced circles above the waves,
made a waste of lines and need.

The wind burned by in solemn tones,
dropping deadfall ragged song.
Understood its taste, salt's weight.
Pilings broke the wood soft surf.

Should I swim for one green light?
Or the sun's bright red, alarmed?
Spread distance. Its stopping breath.
The tide rolled on. The tide rolled on.

My baby is obsessed with the ocean. Love you and your poety mind.

remember the sound
that could wake the dead
but nobody woke up at all

As I love you. *kiss* Expect an e-mail shortly. And yep, I'm obsessed! (strange for someone who doesn't like layin' on the beach)

solemn
ragged weight

torn

asunder

the sea
remains

Thank you, brian.
Sometimes lead,
sometimes waves,
sometimes light,
always me.

I love the way you mix the ocean and emotion,
now that I have been taken by the tide...I cherish the words even more.

Fantastic Mikey!!  Love the images.
There is something so awesome and powerful
about the ocean..you capture it well.

This is lovely, Mr.Squirrel...  I love the imagery, but I never realized that squirrels loved the ocean so much...

Thank you all. And Lyra? Acorns from the Sea should be the title of a book -- or at the very least, a poem.
