Spirit of the Sea

The allure and splendour
of your blue horizons
beyond sight,
sweet seductress
of all that gleams
in spheres and stars
in pools of moonlight,
reach out to kiss me
in waves across the sands,
place my breath in your depths
upon spirit seabird wings,
fly my heart through the wrath
and scowl of the storm,
embrace my soul and mind 
in the glimmer of sunset and sunrise.

Crowned in seasalt and shells
curling into fire crests of light,
in climes of white sand
and blue satin night,
restless healer caress and soothe,
depths of my soul
wreathed in lonely sadness
peril and bruise,
in your pillars of coral and pearl
portals of cinnamon gold and jewels,
in caverns of peace and light
under the sailing clouds
through the dawn mist tides,
surge into the deep amongst the grassy dunes
and the mercy of breathing dreams
with the rise and fall of the heaving seas.
