The short lapping waves come in then recede
incessant and gentle and free
They speak to me softly in whispering tone
what it is to be part of the sea
And I understand fully as this language I speak
having learnt it when just a lad
Its rhythm speaks wisdom of treasure to keep
which over the years I have had

Constant coming
all them waves
turning on a whim
Sometimes I will
shed a tear
and sometimes
I will grin
Constant coming
all them waves
many friends are here
Sometimes I will
simply watch
and sometimes
I will cheer

2 of 3 in a Jemverse mini-series

The seventh wave was building
I watched it gather height
Like a monster lurking out there
with teeth and awesome might
The breakers just before it
when they broke upon the shore
slipped quickly back into the mire
before coming back once more

Watching water
slowly fill
Waves get bigger
bigger still
Beach gets smaller
Sea get wide
Standing here
with rising tide

Was it that long ago, by
The south seas
Warm waves crashing,
Bursting bubbles caressing

weary waters, wretched wait
worn waveless, wrinkle worship
waters without winces, whales
wry, wistful, wind wicked

they give

these waves
they bring
knights in sand

Alleviate me, with a foghorn. Swept up compilations hound
and dog me desperately, so maybe extend a forlorn sound.

I hear her
from the cliffs
whispering
on the wind
as the waves
wash ashore
crashing against
the rocks below

The ocean’s waves come quietly ashore,
Then disappear as quickly as they came.
No matter what the sand was like before,
When water leaves, it’s never quite the same.

Finished my work
wandered down to the sea
the freshening breeze
appealing to me
Watched the waves crash
there on the beach
above the tideline
and just out of reach

throughout all these years
the voice of the ocean

In this brittle chill
the sea is often angry
as it tosses waves at me
But I am wary
keeping my distance I stand
in awe above the tideline

but down here it is the sea
On the beach at any time
but today when it’s just me

Outside our porthole
down on deck one
the waves surge against us
and it’s brilliant fun
Because sometimes the sky
we can see as we oughta
whilst the very next moment
we’re all underwater!

Gave a thousand candles

The Sun I set

Gave a thousand rays

Waves, they rolled
on yesterday’s sand
Waves, they filled
footprints of the heart
Waves, they gave
a page to dream on
Waves, they took
words of yesterday

A walk on the beach
with time to unwind
is good for the soul
and good for the mind
The air here is clear
and the smell of the sea
is always a solace
and a comfort to me

Sparkling like diamonds
those beads of the sea
shine in the sunshine
and fascinate me
Sitting here on the shingle
as the tide washes in
I am caught in the moment
with a satisfied grin

On your ocean
My thoughts twist and tumble
When I measure your waves, by this fist
You grimace, for not feeling your breeze

How can something as loud and violent
As powerful pounding waves
Crashing on jagged rocks
Make me feel so calm and peaceful?

The mischievous sea
with the high winds last night
is tossing and turning
and a fabulous sight
I’d not want to be out there
in the chop and the churn
But I’ll stand on the shore
for some lessons to learn
