About the Poem

I love the ocean. It's a part of me - or I'm a part of it. I'm not sure which. I know only that it speaks to me. It has new and different insights for me each and every time I converse with it - which is nearly every day.

Percipience

by Nancy Ness

Oceanic sound
Remands to me
The wisdom of the deep.

Resurgent pound
A heark'ning sea
In surfeit at its neap.

A mere abound
Of privity
Waves aphorisms leap.

Reflections found
Imploringly
Beseech that I might reap.

My quests expound
In verity -
Percipience my Keep.
