Sea

Hark!

Submitted by Bernadette on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 17:30

 

Hark! A song is playing

Singing along the plains

Past the rushing rivers

Past the waving trees

All along the scarlet horizon

Till it finds the sea!

 

Battered

Submitted by Bernadette on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 19:13

 

Tossed by the sea’s great waves

And battered by the wailing wind.

The storm is crashing, the rain is pouring.

The sides are creaking, the sail is fallen.

 

Dark sky and grey sea

High prow and broken timbers.

Down, down, down.

Below, below, below.

Storm, storm.

Beneath.

 

Wailing Seas

Wailing seas

Rushing waves

Moonless sky

Soundless land

 

Burning stars

Calling wind

Endless shore

Sunless breeze

 

Beaming moon

Sinking sun

Starless night

Shadowless eyes   

 

Wailing sea

Rushing waves

Moonless sky

Soundless land

An Ode to Ezra

Submitted by James on Tue, 10/28/2008 - 20:35

The sea is sad and gray, my friends,
It greets me with a tear;
Its mournful company it lends,
For nearly half a year.

Aboard this ship I stay, my friends,
Save for the days at dock;
How many hours on land depends:
I have to watch the clock.

The waves do sadly roll, my friends,
Each laps a lonely tongue;
The misty air – its raining wrends
A thousand songs, unsung.

Away from sea, below, my friends,
I learn about the ship,
And trace the power the engine sends;
I know which switch to flip.

Peter Pan

Captivated, he stepped unto the plank
His sword unsheathed; his smile was broad
He cast his glance aside, waving his hand
The sea was tyrant; the fish were bored
He shuffled his feet and bounced upon the sea
Upon the water, one heel he did ski
In the hat, The Never Bird sat afloat
Merrily, he danced upon the leaping sea
The waters laughed as he jolted back
Smiling away, he threw his sword; it landed not
Through the air it flew, and so did he

Night

Glittering stars
On a black sea
Unmoving waves
High above earth

Silver moon
Beaming with brightness
On a dark land
Hushed in the night

Soft wind blows by
The ever standing trees
Quietness comes forth
And covers all

Veil of blackness
Light shines through
Glow of softness
Upon resting fields

Tarrant

Submitted by Bernadette on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 02:08

Feathered hooves
pound on sand
shining white body
gleaming with the sun.

Black head plunging
into tumbling waves
high and curling crash
under trampling hooves.

Mane and tail
flow out behind
like ever sailing
blue seas.

Wild eyes like
raging storms when
they come upon
ocean deep.

Arched muscles under
Thick neck
Tarrant son of Thunderhooves
Gallops ever on.
