ONE SHOT WEDNESDAY
LOVING THE SEA
LOVE THE SEA
Sea of blue-hued beauty
Standing here before you
With respect, admiration
To give you, and love
Yes, love
It is said peace and happiness
(Sometimes warily sharing),
Are those keys to
The door of fulfillment
What of love?
Constant flowing of giving,
GIFTING the unsuspecting
This is the clue
I give you
It's called love
Thank you, oh ocean-body
Huge of water and life
You rage and tumble about
Yet suffer not from strife
I accept your love.
You are my friend, teacher:
Blues of the sweetest hues
Before you I stand erect
In awe and in respect
And in love
And I give you...
Me

What a beautiful tribute to the sea. Love in every line.
hallo, my dearest friend, whom i've missed terribly. thanks for the kick under the butt, and guess what, it worked... thank you. and lo and behold, it seems the ocean has grabbed us both...
Steveroni my dear brotherfriend, a secret: (I am afraid of the sea).
I have had so many traumatic experiences with bodies of water when I was growing up, starting when I first witnessed my friend sucked away by muck, of me falling into a drop offs, of riptides, of mangroves, of sudden weather changes while snorkeling and seeing my husband trapped on a coral reef. Yet I love the many beautiful creatures as long as I am firmly footed on land separated by glass.
I love your poem. I can see myself standing on the shore, admiring the blue sea.
See what you did? Your poem made me recall.
Have a great day, peep!
I mean a drop off. Just one.
The beauty of the sea...I always compare the vastness of that abyss to the love of God. It's endless....
I love the ocean and poetry pertaining to it. Yours is so beautiful..
the middles makes it
Learning of love from the ocean... we are kindred spirits...this is lovely; and I adore the picture...a gorgeous visual! Thanks so much for sharing this. :) heartspell
Does that mean you're gonna go jump in the ocean?
(Don't do it, Steveroni!)
A nice, calming One Shot!
so you give yourself in..i think you are a giver, steve...i have seen this picture before...smiles
Blues of the sweetest hues...is cool!
Yes, I think I sea love here. The gentle waves of your poetry is refreshing and healing. Lovely!
It's okay, Mr. Fiddleman. You can say it. People have called me b..b...b.... before. :D
Gotta go call Ces's thigh now.
This poem is really so special. Like you, I am an avid lover of the sea, in all its many moods and faces, whether cruising on it or just sitting beside it, contemplating life. You did a wonderful job with this one, Steve.
A lyrical love song to the sea. Lovely.
Great meeting you through One Shot Wenesday! (Enjoyed reading your bio. Will be back for more.)
Hi Steve...i have been swamped at work this week...so i never got to my one shot...but i will for sure get one out there next week...enjoyed reading everyones...:-)
An Ode to the Ocean, love this. I quite often (and not meaning to) write water imagery into my poetry, it was only until a friend pointed it out that I realized it.
I think, if she (the ocean) were to hear this, she would wave her blue waters onto your shores, in gratitude...
i love the ocean, so for me, this was just so wonderful.
you have captured everything i love about the sea, and put it in such a lovely poem.
thank you.
There is music in the waves, in the colors, the whales, the sky and misty brine, your poem captures the essence of the ocean.
I can see you walking to the edge of the sea and playing your violin to the heartbeat of the ocean meeting the shore.
Cheers,
Joanny

It is real support, when you wonderful Peeps not only stop by--but also leave a comment. And SO much do I appreciate that!

Thank you ALL...

Of course I love the sea as I chose to live by it myself, so interesting always changing, usually well attended but these days are beautiful and we have it back to ourselves. I really appreciated your ode to the sea here.
Btw, if you haven't stopped back by my blog since last week I left you a special note on TRIO and you might read this week's post while you're there. Thanks, Gay @beachanny (http://beachanny.blogspot.com)
