The allure of the Sea
She pulls
She pushes
She pushes
She splashes
She teases
She beckons
She cajoles
As she leaves trails of droplets
and laughter
As she leaves trails of droplets
and laughter
She’s generous,
And like a cat with a mouse
She leaves behind her,
Wet and bedraggled treasures
She’s warm and inviting
Never sleeps
And always has the last laugh
She cavorts joyously along the sands
Momentarily settling on broken shells
Before running back to her mother
Before running back to her mother
Today she is a soft, sea green
Highlighted by masterful strokes of azure and crystalline
Her palette always changing as the winds kiss her waves
Her palette always changing as the winds kiss her waves
Her horizon is serene and still
Like the seven Halcyon days in the summer solstice
When the seas were at peace
And the kingfisher bore her young
When the seas were at peace
And the kingfisher bore her young
A tantalising siren’s song
She is lovingly embraced
And always alluring
She is…
The sea!

I realise I saw this unbelievably beautiful homage to the sea and to the exquisite sea-sprite dancing in the sunlit waves – years ago – but came across it again today and am wordless with wonder. Perfection personified Francesca. Mum xx
