THE OCEAN I SEE

Hawaii. Hubby took this photo



I stare.  Impolite,
but the ocean doesn’t mind.
It knows
my awe,  passion, respect
my admiration...

my vexation.
It's so vast,
full of boundless mystery,
of things I can’t see.
A trickster, it connives
with scenes of tranquil caresses,
yet harbors immense power
that can drown me.

I love it.
In it I see
You.

  2. Lovely poem. Was it a sunrise or a sunset? I always try to guess, knowing that if I had taken it, it would have most definitely been a sunset.
