A Seascape

A Seascape

A Poem by George Coombs
"

I love the sea and am fortunate to be close to it here in England

"

A Seascape


soft, slow moving sea…

sense of the spiritual

here in sacred space

where the mind can

seek solace from striving…

innocence calls to seeking eyes,

strands of silvern light

here, there…

gulls glide gentle placing

their plaintiff chanting

where only the listening hear

near, and to the far horizon

waiting to welcome

the pilgrim minds moving

quietly scattering questions

along its shadowed paths…

'.. here in sacred space ~ where the mind can seek solace .. '

I love the look, scent and sound of the sea too - how the sun's rays create silver streaks on its surface, silver shadows beneath it!

You've truly captured the sea's appearance, character, calm and spiritual influences here, inviting those 'pilgrim minds' to explore its magic. Beautiful!

So beautiful George! Love the eloquence and flow, like the sea itself, the sibilence and alliteration like the sound of sea spray "soft, slow moving sea"..."strands of silvern light"-exquisite.
Soothing and calming. Wish I was there now....
