About the Poem
Have you ever walked beside the ocean and felt a need to be part of the waves, the sea air; to be part of their essence? This poem describes that yearning.
Sea Love |
| by Kamla Mahony |
| To you a mountain chases out her soils through the lost solidity of winter clothes I see, ribbon-tumbled, these streams and wider rivers across these lands, where my feet float over the green. The rushers still in awe, on their approach to you, their mouths, their last youth union with the earth tide-embraced, those fresh children, ushering the expanse of anonymity wandering an intake of salted sand, and peace at this, their mature quest. Perhaps I am among them as I walk the water's mark. I am the mermaid, the siren, soon happily I would go into these waves and creature myself within your sheltering those tributoried churns, and drift of martyred shells, they hasten me, I am exposed to need, and recognition of the horizoned line beyond. Surely I will swim, though land-bound yet, from the water's mouth, and see my land from another's view. |
