recalls to me the sea

recalls to me the sea

 

all I observe

recalls to me the sea

 

leaves of every tree stirred by a breeze

with grace, birds flying

each wind that blows

in memory, echo of seagulls' call

for riggings, coils of rope

on top of a beer, the foam

smoothness of a woman's thigh

at night, stars

line of any horizon

in mountains, a clear spring of water

roar of thunder storms

lashing rain

over landscapes, sunrise

moon glow

fog in hollows

of any day, calmness

of all description, clouds

my heart, married to the sea

 

best relationship I have had.

WoW Vicotor

This beautiful write tantalised my imagination. I could envisage myself looking out to the sea craving to be surrounded by the water with just good thoughts. I love this very much, touched me deeply. Fabulous journey for me thank you. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

Xena,You are more than

Xena, You are more than welcome. If poetry doesn't tantalize the imagination of the reader, something was missed. Glad I hit that spot for you with this one. Ciao, Victor Claude
