Zeus’s storm
His beacons pierce night
Through clouds, thick
Unsettled
Poseidon balks, unamused
As lightning strikes deep

Wrapped inside a hardened shell
An iridescent gem does dwell
Hidden deep, beneath the sea
Yet, not much larger than a pea
Begins, when oysters take offense
Triggering layers, of self defense
Fighting, to make its bed just right
As such, creates this luminous sight
Which sets a woman’s heart awhirl
Ah, the beauty, of a cultured pearl

Waves, against the sand, the tide rolls in
As I walk along the beach, this summer day
The pier, in the distance, waits in hazy morn
The softening day, through the clouds, allay
Tones of pink, against gray, night dissipates
Coloring the skies, with my favorite hues
Reeds blow gently, in the hush of the breeze
Shadows creep quietly, then, slip from view
The taste of the sea, the salt in the air
Memories, of my childhood, spent there
To go back, and relive, those days in the sun
Lazily walking, until the daylight is done

Guided by light, through the misty night
A ship finds its way, across the ocean
Bobbing in the sea, it remains a mystery
How it was brought here, on waves of motion
Or perhaps it’s the moon, makes sailors swoon
Unaware are they, of her alluring beams
Closer they come, until they are numb
Alas, all is not really what it seems
Still, the ship heads in, from where its been
Sails folded, as she glides toward shore
A crash, tis a sight, though try as they might
They can save themselves, nevermore

I wait upon the edge of time
Oceans carrying my thoughts
Beyond the places in my mind
Casting away memories
Written once, in rhyme
I wait upon the winds that blow
Lofting away with the clouds
And catch the colors as they flow
Lazily, ever lingering
In the moonlit glow
I wait upon the lilac skies
Surrounding, floating freely
And I shall wait forever more
Like the waves upon the sea
Calm against the sandy shore
While time still passes by me
