Tirrell Leonard Jr. Excerpt from page 23 of In The Murmuring Trees: The Ocean The songs of sea, will call out to our bones As fresher waves will roll in gentle purrs, Our sails will tack, the leeward wind infers To dream across the tides and seek unknowns. We don't worry about dark clouds or sky groans As forces work beyond our sight defers, I search for rainbows, in the grey demurs We ride the winds and sea swells high cyclones. Yet ripples flow on beaches lapping foam And topple castles made of sand and dirt, Or stand on stones to watch the sea and roam As gulls fly near to find a friend and flirt. On beaches white, we dream a little dream And walk the shore in symphonies supreme.
