Full of something light,
she dances away,
through the night,
floating into the sea.

Sea Days
Chirping as her chics move and splash about the shallows.
Crabs take their young for a salty dip or a crunchy nip.
Bluebottle jellyfish stranded on the sand feel the sun.
Shells move as the hidden ones hide from the noise.
Shelly bounces in the saltwater to find a colourful shell.
She sees a cute creature, pounces and misses.
Silliness takes over as she leaves tiptoe footprints in the sand.
Sorrowful Seashore
Pockets of grey dominate the ivory sky, for the sun doesn’t shine on the lonely seashore.
A cold wind wails sorrowfully along the shore for the dead fish who lay motionless on the sand.
With vacant eyes and rotting flesh, the seagulls and the crabs make a feast of the dead fish flesh, which will soon be no more.
Longing
I often lament the endings.
Crying on the couch, thinking how much I would miss you.
What would happen if you died and I lived?
What would happen if I died and you lived?
The last glimpse of you is like the sea;
I’m always longing to be close to you again.
Hope
downtrodden man of strength
leading the way into the light
does he do everything by a star,
or is he full of distant starlight?
wavelets of change lap at the shore
slowly, slowly, they grow
now waves smash at the shore
A protagonist of hope in this world
The Nymph
a nymph on the shore,
as the waves move in
she calls to you softly,
yet the words are odd
her expression is plain,
please listen to the sea
you listen for a time,
as you hear sounds
under the waves now,
with her heart so close
her palace of shells,
your watery home
In the Shallows
shallow water
shells,
sand,
and
sea
creatures are exposed
as we play
Haiku: Summer Coast
the shore calls again
sea sounds sing a song of hope
off the summer coast
To the Sea
moving through
the smoggy air
feeling weak
everyone stares
following the line
metal tins move
feeling tense
no one cares
missed the stop
she continues on
feeling wild
her mind flares
the sea arrives
she runs to her
feeling love
the sea cares
