Mystified by the dangerous, yet soothing
musical tones of the ocean. I find myself
mesmerized by its precarious nature,
the peaceful essence, sharing it’s glory.
Gazing, in wonderment of its mystical
style, What lives below the surface,
what sees me, of which I can not see.
What awesome creature views me.
I’am but a tiny splinter in comparison to
this vast blanket of rustling waves. A
feeling of peace covers me as I stare into
the deep blue waters.
It’s powerful, suggestive properties are
slowly grabbing my attention and
luring me, to immerse myself within its
body.
I’m deeply tempted to become apart of it.
to ride the waves, to feel the flow, to know
the mystery. Suddenly! ! ! , my eyes open
wide, I take a step back, knowing once
again, I came close, to crossing over.

First of all I loved the title.. and then the first verse is so inspirational. Melvina you write like an angel. I agree with Nalini that you have created the aura... the mood. Nothing less than a 10 from me.
one of your best Melvina, IMHO. exploring your thoughts and mood, the ocean we can all relate to. excellent work. -Tailor
You've put into words what I (and I suspect millions of others) feel about the mighty ocean - that magnetic pull, that feeling of wanting to be part of it. I enjoyed this immensely, Melvina. Fantastic writing. Love, Fran xx
Melvina please learn to swim first, before you jump in ya very very good poem Please, nice poem love Dave xxxx
Crossing over and into the Mother of us all. Your ocean is THE ocean, forever, mesmerizing, calling...as once she did to her little ones who ignored her, crawling out onto land. She got a few back, but we never returned to her. You have captured the depths of Time and Water here. Definitely not an easy task to take on...but you did and succeeded. Great! ! xxElysabeth
Very Emmersonian. I like the way you describe losing all sense of yourself to become part and parcel with the divine.
Melvina, your writing is like a magnet to me and keeps drawing me back for another dip into the wonderful world you create. Just keep creating it. Beautiful piece. I loved every line. thanks for sharing it. David
You enclose so many parallel universes in your writing..each reading discloses further nuances and possible interpretations. Some awesome talent you've got there.
