The Ocean's Power and Beauty

Desertwind

The power that

is within you 

is sometimes stored ,

and let loose to cut 

away beaches 

like a giant sword 

 

Your sound and beauty 

with smell ,

has me deep 

under your spell 

 

What really 

impresses me ,

is the vastness 

of your beauty 

 

You go it seems 

until you touch 

the sky ,

your beauty 

is laid down 

but 

very high 

 

Listening to you roar 

I know the beauty 

of your power ,

making beautiful sandy beaches 

out of what you 

devour 

 

Time has disappeared to you 

and space ,

and unchanged 

is still 

your face 

 

There's too much of

your beauty 

in my eyes 

to take in 

at this place and time ,

standing here at your 

beautiful 

sandy 

shoreline 

 

On your shoreline 

I walk 

and heavy tracks 

I lay ,

you came in 

and wiped them 

all

away

      'Listening to you roar
      I know the beauty
      of your power ,
      making beautiful sandy beaches
      out of what you
      devour'
      forgive me, dear Poet
      I couldn't help
      but favourably compare
      these verse and your write
      in totality, to the great words
      of Keats:
      'Oh, ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired,
      Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;
      Oh ye! whose ears are dinned with uproar rude,
      Or fed too much with cloying melody---
      Sit ye near some old Cavern's Mouth and brood,'
      from 'On the Sea'
      ( https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-14516 )
      thank you! for choosing to share
      a great read
      'in my humble opinion'

        I have never heard of Keats , I'll look him up online . If he's a poet, I never have read any poetry except on here to comment on it.
        Thanks alot for your comment, you seem very knowledgeable, and the like .

          I said him for Keats and I thought after I wrote it , what if it's a woman. I looked it up it was a man poet , so I guess I'm safe with the women .

          Wow what a fine display you've painted with words. Truly powerful and the shortness of it is also really nice. I enjoyed the shoreline metaphor and the last lines were like a big hug. Well done! 💖
