Yearnings and fancies dance in unison
Take me to the ocean to savor the unseen
Heard say there were pirates so fearsome
Walking the plank a thrill seeking whim
Buccaneers of old chronicled in romances
Dashing and daring in exploits of adventure
In reality robbers and killers in many instances
Acting bravely only when in a big number
Rather take me to oceans serene and peaceful
Wildlife gliding in the deep in friendly gestures
Smaller ones food for predators if not careful
Otherwise beauty of movements of sea creatures
Above waters rapport of sunrise and sunsets seen
Presenting kaleidoscopic array of colors any day
Lighthouse in the distance of a nocturnal pristine
Take me to oceans uncharitable but unbridled in play
For Sanaa's Prompt Nights #7 - take me to the ocean
This is absolutely mesmerizing especially love the closing lines :D
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written. Thank you so much for participating :D
Lots of love,
Sanaa
So, beautiful and has everything that's sea!
ReplyDeletelove the images associated with the sea in the lines...a good one Hank...
ReplyDeleteI esp love your last stanza
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of peaceful oceans much better.
ReplyDeleteMuch can be taken in by the ocean, as one does play by the bay
ReplyDeletePirates are exciting but best left in storybooks - a nice peaceful beach is definitely best
ReplyDeleteI love the truthiness of your last line. ♥
