THE SEA SEES ME



THE SEA SEES ME 

As I sit by the shore
Waves come, waves go
Like a rhythmic pulse
They heave and convulse
As a tangerine sun
Completes a home run
And begins its descent
Looking tired and spent
Into the calm embrace
Of a slumbering sea
That I see!

A warmth engulfs
Relaxing my pulse
While the saline scent
In the breeze present
Leaves a hint on my lips
As some cargo ships
Hit the line of horizon
In tandem with the sun
Retiring for the day
Painting everything grey
Like a perfect screenplay!

I sigh in wonderment
At this diurnal event
That I’ve seen so often
Yet my eyes soften
As I rise to my feet
Dusting sand from my pleats
And see faceless silhouettes
Float past as vignettes
A seagull follows
My footprints hollow
And a wave beckons!

I stop and I see
The cradling of the sea
Tumultuous yet calm
A sublime scenic balm
Mirror to my soul
Shattered, yet whole
Almost say to me
There’s no master key
Just go with the flow
The high and the low
For we shall rise again
And pen
A new tomorrow!
