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.
Nature Poems
Welcome to my collection of original nature poems. Everyone needs a “happy place,” and nature happens to be mine. That’s why I am making these nature poems available, to give poetry lovers a chance to explore and commune with the great outdoors, even when they have to stay inside. These poems make wonderful gifts, cards, and meditations…but please remember to email a request to me and include full copyright information on every copy made. (For internet use, a link back to the poem on this site is required.)
Riding the Waves
©2019 Susan Noyes Anderson
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.
Remembering You
©2018 Susan Noyes Anderson
The ocean pounding on the shore
Awakens with a crashing roar
Reminds me that you are no more
Still Waters
©2018 Susan Noyes Anderson
O be not lulled by placid sea
nor lapping waves
of harmony
Secrets of the Sea
©2017 Susan Noyes Anderson
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.
The Path of Peace
©2017 Susan Noyes Anderson
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.
Touchstones
©2017 Susan Noyes Anderson
A rock is sure, reliable,
predictable and sane.
Its nature, set in solid stone,
shows little wax or wane.
The Tree in Me
©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson
Plant all my roots in rich brown earth
and stretch my branches wide.
Let golden rays of morning sun
fill every space inside.
