From The Garden I Can See The Sea
From the garden I can see the sea
its everchanging moods and hues
Silvery crests announcing
power, awesome power that earth struggles to resist.
Captivating, drawing, as eye searches cross the deep to horizon ships
sailing earth's curvature, crabber boat returns once more, shrieks heard
as bathers meet breaking waves.
Eyes, fins, scales and tentacles inhabit another garden of hidden
treasures and in the air salty scent and a constant sound as
waves meet the pebbled shore.
On a clear night the moon lays a glistening path across the waves to
its door.
From the garden I can see the sea and it gives rise to praise
