Lessons from the Sea

The ocean, so constant and steady,
swells in silence to fall with a roar.
Seaweed circles around in the eddy,
gets caught up or breaks free for the shore.

Riding the Waves

I’d like to just let go of me
and ride the waves across the sea––
willy-nilly, to and fro
with no particular place to go.

The ocean pounding on the shore
Awakens with a crashing roar
Reminds me that you are no more

Still Waters

O be not lulled by placid sea
nor lapping waves
of harmony

Secrets of the Sea

When my own tides are at low ebb,
I stand beside the sea.
Bright waves of truth I used to know
come washing over me.

I love those peaceful moments of the heart,
when mind and spirit finally run free,
the fleeting moments, seldom set apart,
when every soul is stilled to breathe, to be.
