I Knew the Sea

Storm  upon the deep, with silent warning bell. My eyes rapt in careful stare. Thunder dropped on turquoise sea, its voice thick with sighs. Water whirled in passing wind on cold, white heaps of foam. I knew the sea. I knew the waves Heaven looked with downward brow, slowed ocean’s ire, green water resumed its glide. Dreams tickled sand, echoed memories. I knew the sea, I knew the waves Seabirds lingered at dawn above a sea that shuddered  with each high sway. Waves swallowed rue of my footsteps and length of quickened breath.  I knew the sea, I knew the waves

Marilyn, A few things different to contemplate. I think a little more substance too, would be beneficial. I don't like waves swallowing rue! Waves swallowed my footsteps in rue and length of quickened breath. I wish you would have ended: I know the sea, I know the waves well....... And always you show such depth. Dellena

Enjoyed the read and all the images that it brought forth.......the storm, Thunder dropped on turquoise sea, its voice thick with sighs. Water whirled in passing wind on cold, white heaps of foam. So power filled is the sea when it is aroused......... Liked the way you repeated I knew the sea, I knew the waves......as always poet a well presented presentation worth reading, sharing and voting on for the month. God Bless, Claire
