SYMPHONY OF THE SEA

(Original poem and photography)



Listen to the symphony of the sea
At times loud and brash
like cymbals,
Crashing and thrashing in angry rhythm;
At times soft and lilting
like the harp,
Lapping and tapping
in gentle motion.

Listen to the symphony of the sea
Waking the dead
with its thundering;
Stirring the depths of the soul;
Lulling the senses.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for stopping by to comment! BTW, I went to your page and I seemed to have Unfollowed you by mistake! I'm Following you again! :-) Are you concentrating on Resteeming these days? Thanks for the Resteem!

The image goes so well with the poem - Is it me or do some poems take a few readings and I still can't get them straight in my head? Lol... Yours was fully absorbed at one go! Yayyyy!! :D

Thanks! I agree. Some poems are very mysterious with meanings only the writer can fathom out! LOL!

The sea always makes me calm... Truly love it. Gorgeous shot to go with your symphony <3

Thanks! The sea does have a calming effect when it is not too wild!

such a beautiful poem that flows beautifully into that photo

Thanks for your kind commends.

My pleasure
