The Ocean – A Ghazal for Mindful Poetry Contest: April 13, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

Ocean waves rolling blue from the darkness deep

Your blue eyes in mine, your clear gaze so deep

 

Billions of ocean creatures have been dancing for eons

Practising the intricate evolutionary steps in the deep

 

Fishermen cast their nets in the dark night full of hope

Abundant catch is the promise from the deep

 

A surfer’s body lying on the warm sandy beach

Rescued, a wound in the leg, bleeding, gaping deep

 

Come with me for a dive, down to the wonderland

The mighty ocean I leave to you, I don’t trust the deep.
