The sea
is not disobedient
to the wind
does not ask
why it is stormy
or angry
it rushes to the shore to greet you
looking for help
to subside its anger
and you stand there
bare feet buried in the sand
bolstering and stubborn
daring the sea
to take you
with open arms
wherever it wants you to be.

I like it very well! Delightful how you have thus poetically pictured the sea! Interesting the Bible says something like..."the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, its waters casting up mire and dirt.." or something like that. Curious in contrast, isn't it?
Thank you , Cheeky. Appreciate your comment and rating very much. Blessings.
This is a great poem. In a way i wish i was near the ocean right now jsut letting the wind blow my hair and soothe me. I like this poem because it shows how things actually are. Keep writing.!!
Thank you, Lonelyka. Vignettes of the sea and anemonies of the ocean create spasmic joy in our lives. The salted air can put you to sleep...even make you forget how to dream.
