Of The Ocean

By Morgan LeFay

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Where be that place of ancient keening whale Of depths that reach from shadowed places there And call from sorrow men that cannot care To dive from lofty heights so soon to fail Is't then the ocean that entreats with gail And beckons we of faces old and fair To set forth out unto the serpent's lair Remembered only in unspoken tale So now in time of greatest secrets known I list' well to its heartless wanting song And feel within that pull my fathers felt I go to find what Light I may be shown That in the deeps of greatest sea I long To lay as those the tide has harshly deltany suggestions and please compare this to Of The Ocean II if you have the time Written December 31st, 2001 © on Dec 31 2001 03:24 AM PST   10 • 9
