Of Sea And Stone

Of Sea and Stone

Welcoming lovers—sea and earth do join,
A union of perpetual motion
Beats against rock, faces of the same coin…
Mysterious, everlasting ocean.

A haunting mistress dispatches the sea,
Sparkling dancers clothed in waves of foam,
The siren’s enchanted song beckons me,
Hypnotizing senses, luring me home.

Stones set upon bedrock deep and secure,
Against the sea’s pounding rock-flesh withstand
Majestic cliffs overlook to ensure,
Ocean’s kiss upon the face of the land.

Persuaded allure demands that I flee,
Restless, seducing…the call of the sea.
