Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
Sea gulls walking on a January beach --
Peculiar strides taking them far from my reach;
Away they fly no matter how eyes beseech,
To a silvern streak that calls the souls of each.
An ocean cold and empty and so forlorn --
Yet whose silent sides have been lashed -- have been torn --
So ageless it flows on a tide of peace bourne --
But as you look you find all resentment -- gone.
Smoothly cool it fascinates your searching eye --
Unleashes your thoughts with memory -- with sigh --
Leaden enchantment of the earth of the sky;
Serene and solemnic the ocean rolls by.
