sea – Page 2

The Bellwether

forgotten in hues
the bellwether of no one
talking to the sea

turn towards the sea
away from the proposal
a sapphire promise
calling for the one you love
walk into the saltwater

The forest is near
a deepening of onyx
The moonlit shadows
a vision of the wild sea
The house lights are my lighthouse

the susurrus sea
revealing the horizon
whispering stories

a wee ship set sail
o’er the rough waves to Bass Strait
like coins in a jar
the angry sea longs for lives
no lighthouse to calm their nerves

swimming in the sea
a wrinkly breast on a board
become brine chicken

illuminated
lost in a watery space
a lil Nudibranch

Searching the Ocean
for the pearl Beluga Whale
my precious lady

We met in the depths
a little shocked look at first
she knew no Narwhal

Together we swam
named her princely unicorn
a touch of my tusk

Coming back to me
swimming straight towards her songs
we play together

Floating across the world
lost in a travel daydream

Longing to touch the cold sea
to feel black sand on the shore

Standing outside of my old self
the freezing sea and the green

Losing myself to a life in the Alps
to feel the snow fall from a chalet

Floating away to any place

I looked for you
between the hearts and the shapes
of pebbles found discarded on the
colourful sea shore.

Would you be a smooth pebble,
a sharp and blunt pebble,
or a pebble never to be found?

I chose my favourite pebble,
and it was you.
