Into The Sea
Folder:
Change/Transitions Into the cold sapphire sea, she slips
Pulled by the hypnotic, pounding surf
Frothing across the warm golden sands
Leaving behind her gown of pale silk
Forsaking the only life she knew
To embrace the secret siren's call.
Neptune sweetly sings a father's song.
Her green eyes turn skyward to the stars
To reflect the silver of the moon.
A kiss, she sends gently heavenward,
With a whisper softly of goodbye.
Releasing cascades of perfumed hair
Into the chilly waiting waters,
And brushes the dark surface with love.
She gazes behind her one last time
Across the city alive with lights,
An existance filled with loneliness,
Where no man ever embraced her heart,
Shelters her face in the peaceful surf
To drink deep of the healing waters.
Reborn, she is a child of the sea.

An intense look at the vast, cold clutching depths of the sea. Also the liberation within to find someone who can utilize it to create their freedom.
Although it is sad that the character depicted could not find the warmth of the sun, nor the brush of the winds. But it be filled with despair that the sirens call.

A capturing and enrapturing
piiece - strikingly rendered
in that balladic style of
Amyy's which I have come to
cherish...
An awakening essence of
that healing reality
found in being reborn
with new hopes, riddles
and life...
A bountifully healing
piece - in all of
its radiant beautity
and flowing fountains
plus meadow seas shores
of hope and inspiration -
to be and to live -
reaching for the
stars
against
all

Amy, It was certainly my pleasure to read this compelling, wistful poem. You've done a beautiful job of describing profound sadness that leads the reader to a pleasant ending. Very nicely done! Best regards, Helen Schmidt
"Into the sea" defines the meaning of natural awareness and refreshing upliftment symbolized by the sea's aliveness. This poem reminds me of William Wordsworth's "SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT"; The poem, enthralling, for me, reads like a pastural ballad; moving enough to awaken one's innermost feelings of conscious rejuveneration!
I think this has nice imagery...kind of a cross between a fair maiden and Julia Roberts in "Sleeping with the enemy", both are delicate. I enjoyed the character's saying goodbye and I feel I should pretty often, just waiting on the right opportunity to do exactly that. Thank you for sharing and glad I dropped by!! V.Carolina
well as alwasy you have out done yourself..... this was such a chilling and haunting piece it fits with all the books I have been reading these days...... so into Vampires lately.......LOL.... had to make a change was reading too many books and articals on the late Kurt Cobain from the rock group Nirvana.... he was something else...... I loved the images and flow of this piece...... should print this one out and go to the ocean for a read....... that would really bring this one to life for me........ there is something calming about the sound of the water....... but also so dangerous if you don't keep your wits about you........ thank you for leading me to this wonderful read for a lazy Sunday afternoon
It simply glides the reader into the sea. Very dreamy poem of rebirth.
Amy, This is GORGEOUS!! A lady reborn to the sea.. how lovely!!!! I absolutely love the imagery here.. the wonderful words dance with emotion.. neptune... golds and water.. just beautiful, Amy!! This last stanza is my favorite: She gazes behind her one last time Across the city alive with lights, An existance filled with loneliness, Where no man ever embraced her heart, Shelters her face in the peaceful surf To drink deep of the healing waters. Reborn, she is a child of the sea. WONDERFUL!!
Hi Amy, This is a beautifully flowing , elegant poem encompassing the mysterious pull of the life -creating, life-taking water. Nice choice of vocabulary. Wonderful work. (Please have a peek at my Night Waves- similar theme.) Fleur
Smilesz. Thanxs for inviting me here, Amy. this so reminds me of my Rest On My Bed, albeit more expressive and darkly soothing. Especially the second stanza...the way u describe her in the sea. :) Take care.~~
a beautiful picture you draw for a lonely woman who found peace in the chilly water of the sea
