The sea

"Welcoming Tide" by Sulyn Godsey

The Sea

by Rona Fitzgerald

The sea

                        is a seeker

coves     crevices

                              fissures

familiar shores.

Moon glow

                   sun sparkle                                    evening shimmer sepulchre  grey.

Sucks you in                        like depression or love

              surrounds 

                                   entombs.

Casts you on the rocks                                     bleeds you raw keeps you

                                                 in depths. Try to float                     let it carry you.

Close your eyes

                           imagine

you’re                                   a pearl.
