The sea

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>THE SEA
I walk slowly no footprints in the sand,
no-one has walked this way before me
The sand between my toes, the moon
still out, the sun has not yet woken,
stillness.

The Sea is calm today, soothing my mind,
the tide coming in, caressing the sand, gently
leaving shells, little creatures inside, the seagulls
swoop down, to eat their fill and away, gracefully

The still waters now around my toes, tickling
me, making me squeal, a cold chill running
down my spine, then away again
It’s getting light now, the sun rising, mist disappearing

I sit upon the rocks looking down, a ship appears
far away sailing on the horizon, sails billowing
in the breeze, a galleon, taking me back to the days
of one eyed pirates, treasure chests, dabloons, then gone

My mind clear again, like the calmness of your waves.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

over a powder blue sea casting
rays of amber upon its calm waves
gently rippling along deserted beaches.

The lights have disappeared, once illuminating
the dark sky, casting colourful shadows
over the endless seas, time standing still,
an eerie stillness now amidst your dark
uninviting waters.

No-one ventures now upon the sands,
nothing just an enveloping blackness,
no stars, shining like ebony eyes, gulls have
disappeared, flown away on gossamer wings
‘til morning.

Sun rising now, colours appearing slowly,
glistening powder blue sea returns to
complete the cycle, ageless, timeless,
beauty forever, infinity.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
