she throws her arms upon the shore
searching , pleading a gentle roar -
Where's my tiny friend?

Ever loved and ever free -
she always was , will always be.
my cursing clock reminded me -
We're slaves to our design

I left today , nevermore
to march upon the souless streets
who mourn 'neath the lifeless feet
of suicidal hearts

I drift upon the sunny shore -
embracing now her searching arms
my heart leans into the warm
( : the warm ocean smile : )

Her soul washes over me
the sun washes over me
I am the ocean soul
I am timeless [comments] => 8 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 21 [informant] => doug [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

The Ocean Soul

Contributed by doug on Friday, 28th July 2006 @ 12:33:44 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

The ocean has longed for me
she throws her arms upon the shore
searching , pleading a gentle roar -
Where's my tiny friend?

Ever loved and ever free -
she always was , will always be.
my cursing clock reminded me -
We're slaves to our design

I left today , nevermore
to march upon the souless streets
who mourn 'neath the lifeless feet
of suicidal hearts

I drift upon the sunny shore -
embracing now her searching arms
my heart leans into the warm
( : the warm ocean smile : )

Her soul washes over me
the sun washes over me
I am the ocean soul
I am timeless

A very hypnotic, existential poem, this one. I share your yearning for this kind of peace and rhythm.

I have to admit, the title is what drew me here ..
an ageless piece doug. So ethereal and serene.
I adore the second stanza ..

soft and graceful flow of words. Wonderful thoughts ..

I, like the "breeze", was drawn by the title-
and found a work forged by way of
every subtle fantasy I've ever known and loved-

..the 3rd stanza is magnificent doug~

"I left today , nevermore
to march upon the souless streets
who mourn 'neath the lifeless feet
of suicidal hearts"

I don't often quote works.. but this passage is at the very least, worthy of a literal rendition!

It's great!! (and the work entirely~)
Truly..

Simply beautiful! Had a mystical feel to it and uplifting in a way.
