What the Tide Replied

Have you ever spoken with the sea

on matters too foggy to foresee?

When your judgment, hazy from emotion

clouded any sighting of clear notion?

And, after friendly offerings of advice,

and couple of rolls of the 'decision' dice,

neither enticed, convinced, nor sufficed

quite like that of the ocean's?

Flowing and fluid, a miraculous, watery mass

grounding giants of stone 
in a vast, liquid glass,

its powers of persuasion, 

and the wisdom in its waves,

a sudsy message splashed,

and on the sand engraved,

 for me, 
to search and ponder,

 consider and decipher -

 hydro hieroglyphics
of a deep, aquatic cave.

 

Thanks for visiting!
