The Sea

Image borrowed from web dogdaisychains.blogspot.com 

and the river feeds

the vast insatiable hunger of the sea

where it meets the land

and me

and men place stones

that were born elsewhere, from fire

to enclose this birthing place

of land and soul

dark wall of granite

bearded, worn

and the sea reaches out

for the sky she meets but cannot touch

by the shore for which she

yearns so much

rebuffed.
