First Line: You say there are no poems in the sea
Last Line: Your silver ship has cut across my dream.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Sea; Ocean
You say there are no poems in the sea,
But lyric wavelets dance along the sand;
A sonnet meter beats against my hand;
And rhythmic gulls float blue immensity.
The coming tide is gallant cavalry
That gallop sun-lit roads. Where sky and land
Are meeting, clouds in cream and rose expand
To weave their gold in ancient tapestry.
The logs along the bay have smoked for days.
I gather bark, or follow driftwood ways,
And spin a web of fancy in a theme
Ethereal as mist in upward flight.
But riding down a path of golden light,
Your silver ship has cut across my dream.
