'Oft Forgotten Seas

L. R. Thompson Poetry

This swell in my heart has me considering the sea

'For as it is with the oft rough oceans

That calmness follows great depressions

Replaced by the beauty of royal blues or emerald greens

Standing in stark contrast to the dirty browns and dingy hues

That swirl during times of hurricane force

Like life (and the seas) we oft face times like these

Where mighty upheavals threaten to displace

The footholds to which we become accustomed

Frantically scrambling to reassume some measure

Of the balance better found in quiet places

Where no tide nor storm dare wake

Or disturb the imagined reds of rose or yellows of the sun

That too frequently paint the world in an impression

Even Monet could slightly hope to recreate

'For it is in this desire of serenity that we take for granted

Such trials and tribulations as seen by the seas

Appreciating them only after the calming and the waves recede

  • Comment from author about the poem: I've spent years trying to recreate the environment that led me to write this poem, but alas this muse is much like a mouse, fleeting and hard to catch. I hope my readers feel the same sense of chaos and hope that I feel every time I read this, my magnum opus. Enjoy!
