The ocean mist warms my soul
The tide brings in safety
Those who belong to her eventually come back
Vast and static
She entices you to come
Ebb and flo, to and fro
Every motion is but a moment
Sweeping away past marks
Scars left upon the sand
The dock is calling
"Bear your weight"
Watching the horizon
Thinking about what may happen, what did happen
Vessels sailing in, one by one
Unloading their burdens
Upon the piers
Accordions and percussion mimic her
The way she goes about things
Graceful and powerful
All-encompassing
Pacific
(inspired by Paul Simon and sleepless nights)
I really like this poem Stu.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber
ReplyDeleteStuart you have a great talent for writing. I really like this one because the pacific ocean has such a powerful vibe about it. And all the things you listed remind me of its power. Good job man. I look forward to reading more of your work.
