Lovely ocean, purveyor of perfection, mistress of dreams. Donna J. Fennel
OCEAN SPRAY ENDS MY DAY® My original, reflective sonnet while visiting Marco Island, Florida.
By Donna J. Fennel ~ Revised February 4, 2004 from my shore.
Revised again from my balcony during dawn on October 2, 2006.
Although not seaside this time, her ocean vision haunts my mind.
This is my favorite original poem, inspired from nature for man.
O ocean, my ravishing beauty you sustain me ~
Ah, you will eternally be my haunting harmony.
Erstwhile I, an echo shall evermore express ~
To you my perpetual and endearing tenderness.
How I yearn to sing Donna duets with thee ~
As you are beguilingly around, beckoning me ~
To entwine we two divine, my haunting sea.
Yet you remain such sanctimonious mystery ~
Not captured, yet enraptured by those who see.
Your balmy Bali breezes breathily beckon me ~
You, my betroved, are as I shall remember thee.
How I woefully weep to see your wanton shreds ~
Of your sterling, lustrous, dangling silver threads.
As your sinewy seaweed cast now upon the drift ~
You left in such a disarming and unkempt disarray
Among the golden shards of the dawn of new day ~
While they glisten so upon this dune-dusted beach ~
Sea goddess is now and always beyond their reach.
Your rapturous, rippled ramblings of sandy dunes ~
Are played upon as mysterious and mythical Pan tunes
By your ruffled fringes of the shuffled ebbs and tides ~
That sashay in and surry out, leaving a luminous sheen
Of sensuous satin, like siren seductresses in-between.
Tranquil and tantalizing seems the setting sire sun orb ~
Erstwhile his afterglow trails one’s very heart absorbs.
Your gilded gleam of tresses lapping lazily ‘long shore ~
I cannot ignore so now I explore, as I yearn for more.
As Sire Solaris casts light upon this Lapis Lazuli sky ~
A sensuous spray in sheets of iridescent, luminous sheen.
While his weathered waves of wrinkles wither and wean ~
Themselves from such a beautified, brightened day ~
Releasing his repertoire of rainbows along the way.
Beckons the alluring advance of yonder indigo twilight ~
This golden glow shall bring upon its brow in full tow
Beyond, to welcome a marveled myriad of stars below ~
A Celestine, supreme show only you, love, could bestow.
Newly darkened I hearken now, your sensuous waves ~
That begin to twinkle and stir upon your titillating turns
As they reveal an upheaval, while they roll and undulate ~
Soon the mistress moon will inevitably be ours to take.
Empress of Heaven’s realm, while she steers her helm ~
As you, primordial pristine sea mistress heave and sigh
While I gaze at the galleon of galaxy and nebulous realm.
Yet for you, love, I shall remain ere nigh where gulls cry ~
For within my mortal body, sacred shores of saline thrive.
Lovely ocean, purveyor of perfection, mistress of dreams ~
Your lapping, lustful lunar labyrinth mesmerizes and hypnotizes
Reflected in your restless face, your vastness of gripping grace ~
You occupy and colonize overwhelming space and placid place.
Enamoring me, releasing my epicurean spirit; your sigh, I hear it.
Your cerulean, rippled rows of glaze; how scintillating is your gaze!
Man’s tiny years touch you not divine, while like crystal you shine.
Your captivating cast of glass that man cannot capture or grasp ~
At none other’s command but God’s hand, you are meant to last.
Great oceanic princess, upon you I shall evermore enticingly gaze ~
As your infinity of enigmatic sunsets emit their sultry Sedona haze.
I envision your ever-changing echelon of allure in my evergreen eyes ~
For just a fraction of your worth to memorize, ‘neath sumptuous skies.
A mind cannot fathom your overwhelming overture of abysmal depths ~
O, your waters of saline I, too, have wept, which invaded while I slept.
Just an iota of a second rushing by; I sigh because I am overawed to cry.
Regal sea goddess, who am I next to thee? Like you, I long for eternity.
Lovely, beckoning, hissing sea - your luxurious, lithe, lilting voice lulls me.
Oceanic odyssey, you flow so through my veins, can ere only my spirit tame.
Your melodious chanson enchants in tune; its magical spells and secret runes.
I admire your hue, your might and enterprise; my knowing it too, for I am wise.
Hour hearkens and heralds when I, too, shall die, with your reflection in my eyes.
You, ocean blue, with sultry smile all the while, your draw with which I am in awe.
Dear sea goddess, I so admire your arrogant style. To you I extend my applause.
View your undulating ebb and flow ceaselessly come and go as we die and grow.
Yet mankind, like you, renews and restores ~ we both pelt against our rocky shores.
Alas, man grows old, withers and dies, while your vexing vestige evermore thrives.
God’s ultimate, utopian universe is admired and sired in Earth, sky, sea and sand ~
Yet your pulchritude dwarfs our ligneous liberty of land; we are at your command.
The wondrous water world of wisdom is witnessed through luscious lapping of sea ~
Much so like siren’s scintillating song, it sings to me, enslaving me into pure ecstasy.
I revel in your bounty of beauty eternally, of which I journal joyfully my prolific poetry.
Your power intrinsic and phosphorescent, it transcends me into the gateway to Heaven.
And while you undulate and captivate, humankind find you to be one to contemplate.
You they shall not berate, for ‘midst your birthing womb exists mankind's impending fate.
As sister stars meet your voluptuous breast, I sanction quest for slumber, longing to rest.
My gift to the ocean, whose vista remains unsurpassed while time is cast.
Lovingly quilled for humanity, nature and the Holy Spirit by Donna J. Fennel.
May her undulating, upswept tides always enchant and enamour our minds ~
While her creatures, great and small, survive the Earth disasters that befall.
