The waves thundered upon the beach,
sand gold and untrod.
Sea shells White,
sea shells pink,
makes you want to think.
Sky as Blue as a cornflower,
sun white with heat,
feel the earths heartbeat
a comfort to feel.
Take a canvas
mix the paints
hold the brushes
and then wait.
How can such beauty
be taken down
copy lifes colours
all around.
capture a thundery sea?
impossible.
Capture love and life.
Impossible.

Alice, the sea holds something indefinable but so powerful, doesn't it? I can see the sea as I type - it's calm just now but I love it when it is violent. (as long as I'm not on it!)
These are lovely clear images.

I get such a sense of peace here Alice, especially the lines
Sea shells White,
sea shells pink, |
|
Makes me think of rock pools and hunting around fishing boats as a child.

Hi Alice,
This is a beautiful poem. I really liked it.
The last stanza finished it off beatifully. I liked how you emphasised "impossible".

Lovely stuff. Tranquility and philosophy. I can visualise the singer musing. It really does take you there.
Best

Impossible? Perhaps, but then you seem to prove otherwise with your words :)
"Sea shells White,
sea shells pink"
It might sound a bit silly, but these lines made me think of the old "She sells sea shells" tongue-twister, which I know have dancing around my thoughts...

Andy,
Yes I was saying the tongue twister after I wrote it. Still got sea shells from years ago from quite a few countries. Still look the same.

Lovely words. They seem to hold the constantly changing rhythm of the sea - and capture the feel of warm sun on the sand and the shells.
Have you thought about what sort of musical setting this might work in?
Regards

Jumbo, never thought about a musical setting at all. The sea has a sound all of its own. One minute is like Strauss, next like Beethoven.
