The Sea and Me...

The sea has a power and a mystery that always brings me peace..

 

My favorite time to look at you is past midnight...alone. When the wind blows in off your unending motion. It is like a song, with the crashing of your waves setting the beat. I feel at peace with your mysterious rhythm...as if I have loved you in some distant other time.

Have I ? Did we dance along your shore ? Did we love..and then love no more ?

 

No. No, it feels unlike that. You bring me peace. Somehow within your great vastness, though your presence makes me feel insignificant, you also touch me and make me feel alive, and real.

 

Why do I come to you for peace ? Why do I seek you when I am lonely, but also when my heart beats with love ? I stand at your shore, and feel possessed by you. I feel a shield protecting me in the mist from your edge. I find wisdom in your mystery. I do feel as if I am near an ancient love. Were you my lover...perhaps the womb of my mother ?

 

 

It's as if the memory of our love is sacred , and shall always exist. You draw me to you. You whisper " It is ok." I am mesmerized by your beauty..so deep and unknown. I will love you, always...for reasons I will never truly understand.

I read this 3 times and i still feel the need to read it again. It made me feel the sand under my feet and brought the unique salty smell of the sea. I love her, although i fear her. I wish i could swim, deep down in her depths and discover her closerly. I love your poem....."I will love you, always...for reasons I will never truely understand." wonderful

Honest, simple, powerful, pure.... you are the lover, and the sea, your beloved.

Oh this is so beautiful.
I feel it all around me...i have never been on the shore at night and have only been to sea shores just a couple of times...but i can feel the serenity and the peace from your penned words.

Amazing work.

A beautiful piece Ray. The reader can feel the truth of your expressed emotion. I second Helen in that reading this is a spiritual experience. Simply great!

This is beautiful, Ray. Truly and completely breathtaking. You capture this so beautifully - your thoughts and feelings and the trying to understand what those are. I'm stunned.

WOW...Double WOW!!!! This is a side of you I have not seen. It was a spiritual encounter reading this Ray. It is so moving and mesmerising that I had to sit for a minute to absorb the text. If this is how you truly feel then you are in a good place...
Cheers,
Helen :-)

Awwe, Rain, dang it. I can feel your love for sea in your words, almost melancholy, but still filled with love amd peace. It is a beautiful thing, your relationship with the sea. Your words here, rather your description of your relationship with the water is a beautiful thing and similar to how I feel about rain, about snow.

Something about the power of Mother Nature that captures me. Thx for sending this to me.
Love always,
Tamara

I grew up near the Pacific Ocean and used to visit there at night as well. It brought me peace when nothing else did. This work touches me deeply. It is about a relationship that goes beyond anything I have yet read. This is deep and spiritual in its realistic fashion. Just beautiful.
