There, in the
tide pool, dappled by
the sun is birth and death,
and the spark that continues.
It leaves mankind in the wake of regret.
What have I to do with the albatross
Or sea lion?
I can but write, while they fly and roar.
I gaze upon the Pacific from this rock,
all its mysteries and grandeur.
I am inferior, while it forever reigns with
every wave and break of light.

Such a recognition of our place in this universe. A most wonderful write Thomas this is a fave
Thank you so much.
The only reason we might own for that familiar perspective is the fact which the Scriptures both testify and reinforce, namely that man is made in the image of God Himself. Otherwise, oh to be a bird! Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a charming, haunting poignancy. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you.
A thought-provoking and expressive poem! The imagery and mood brings to mind some of Bukowski's poetry. Nicely done!
Thank you.
Oh but the tide pool collects and remains… been a favourite childhood seaside feature as well!
