The Calm Before The Storm Poem by Valsa George
The Calm Before The Storm
Far across the sea, I watched a blazing hue,
And my eyes feasted on the brilliance of the setting sun.
Beside me, the lulled sea moved on and on,
Like a bird on wings that dives and soars.
A cool breeze flitted across my face,
Like the caressing touch by the Beloved's hands,
I watched the clouds that trailed along,
Hanging a canopy over the azure sky.
Below my feet, lay the sandy shore,
Extending miles on end to infinite lengths,
I lay on it with my arms out stretched,
And my mind lost in the maze of unending thoughts.
I brooded over the mysteries still hidden to man,
Yearning to peer into caverns, the ocean hid.
Struck by a sense of awe, I reposed,
While my gaze fixed on the firmament of stars.
As the salubrious air glided past,
I swam into a state of self - abandonment.
Bliss was it to be in the company of mermaids,
Dancing and singing in celestial cheer.
I wonder why the melodious strains,
Had given way to a thunderous roar? ?
Behind me I heard the deadening sound,
Of roaring waves, lashing on the cliffs.
Swift as lightening, they surged over,
Swivelling the sands I lay upon,
Oh! Again and over again, the booming thud,
It fell heavily in my fretful ears!
Before I could sense what was on,
I found myself swept away by the current,
To be cast in the abyss of the unnumbered,
Those hapless souls, eaten up by the Tsunami waves! !
There is something in this poem that takes me to today. We are all living through what you describe. The first few stanzas remind of the calm, and the setting sun of the warning of the passing away of the familiar. This is. the slumber we all reside in until a jolt arrives...and we begin reacting. I am still not certain that we can this state 'awake.' Brilliant verse, Valsa. To myfavourites.
Below my feet, lay the sandy shore, Extending miles on end to infinite lengths, I lay on it with my arms out stretched, And my mind lost in the maze of unending thoughts........wonderful envision. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
I was lulled into a dreamy state until the tsunami came and spoiled everything! thanks Valsa-10

Is this a poetic trick you've discovered? ? bri :)
