Lost at Sea

For Prompts and Reviews

Deep and resonant crying
Calling out forlornly
into unfamiliar
ocean depths.

The eerie echo of my voice
sounding through the sea.

Seeking solace in the familiar
But naught familiar here.

Lost at Sea.

Strange waterscapes passing by
my massive form.

Gliding easily, powerfully through
unrecognizable ocean currents.

Calling, calling, calling.

Searching Endlessly.

Rising to breathe from Earth's sweet air.
To take in the brief moment of transition
from water to air and back.

Rolling over the surface,
my tail a flag of despair,
my dive into deep crevasse,
Desperate.  Lost.  Alone.

Searching, searching for my home.

This is absolutely beautiful, Judy.. I can feel the loneliness, the need and desperation to find the familiar.. a most excellent job!

This is absolutely brilliant (:

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the strong words and the description in your poem. I was lucky on my last trip to the middle east. I got to travel for two weeks across the ocean with my Army unit vehicles and equipment. I learn to appreciate the ocean more. To be lost at sea would be a sad and lonely journey.
"Gliding easily, powerfully through
unrecognizable ocean currents."
A excellent poem.
