The tone of the waves.

I listen to the music of the waves,

The sweet salty breeze caresses my face,

The melody drum trapping the feet makes the ears to feed,

The water beckons me to her in a whisper,

Waves tease me into the waters,

She recedes pulling the sand, from under my feet,

I run behind begging her come back

To be with me a little while more.

She mocks me first, then comes back willingly,

She playfully lashes on my feet, tickles me,

I hear the pure innocent laughter of a child,

I close my eyes to take in the beauty,

To listen to the rhythm of her voice, To understand what she tries to say,

I hear the echo of her depth less bottom,

The tales she alone knows.

The sages of life and death,

The passion of war, the odium of love,

I hear the cry of loneliness,

The wail of a mother, who lost her child,

The music on the lips of fishermen,

The fear in the hearts of those on shore,

The heaven blush crimson,

As the sky unties her black tresses,

Behind the silver of a cloud, the moon smiles,

Palm trees sway the tune of breeze,

Beneath the bejeweled light sky, she dances in abandon,

I wonder what she protects with her infinite,

How she bewitches the insane soul,

I’m lost; I belong her,

A soothing cloud of comfort drifts through,

As i listen to the music of the waves.

    Water can bring out so many emotions in us. I guess that’s why sailors fall in love with the sea.

    Alright well now I’ve got a favorite poem
    Absolutely beautiful, it started out with playful descriptions and smoothly continued on to more serious stories to make one think about the grandeur of the world, and then slid back to simple bliss. Very charming piece, beautifully done =]
