Ocean Ode Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Silver rhinestones dance on waves
sprawling seaweed sleeps on sand
memories sealed in liquid graves
beachside wandering unplanned

Will the ocean's roar subside
mysteries too deep to fear
water ways and stinging rays
when will my obsession clear?

Who can fathom ancient routes
who can phantom ships retrace?
what is lost to seas of yore
will be rescued never more

Let me move in tune with waves
pulled from stagnant earthly caves
roar as storms destruction bring
soar on sun bleached seagull wings

Sparkling dancing diamond waves
sprawling seaweed sleepy sand
sealing dreams in liquid graves
beachside walks unsung, unplanned.
