The Sea Poem by Jim Milks

I went to the sea today,
To see something
more powerful then me

The boiling water that hits the shore
Tears a little piece of the
Earth away gone forever more

I stand alone and watch the sun
Yellow gold across the water
It is a wonder to behold

The shore birds dive and sing
Their beauty in flight I have no words
I sit and watch them all the day
and into the night

The tides rise
the tides subside
Father Sea and
Mother Earth collide
“I Loved You”
I cried
But to my chagrin
my words are
lost to the din
and float across
the ocean wide
