Vibrant Village ™

painted by Jennifer Crowell

I wrap my arms around her froth

Her unpredictable BURSTS of emotion

I feel her breathe
with the sweet under current of LONGING

Her moods sway
Tenderness
Passion
Power
Even a mean streak...or two

How can I keep up to meet her needs

So vast, variable in this space and time?

Despite her sometimes wrath
she retains Grace
delights me with Her pleasure
her timely rise and fall
her pungent odors changing at her every fancy

She heals my wounds
without my asking
I weep for joy the salt releasing

Oh my Salty Lass,
you inspire me to create
yet how can I ever create as you?
Islands, continents, creatures

Supreme Bliss
every day wonder
LIFE at your every whim
sparkling Magical Mysterious
in your wisdom

Fearless in Harmony
this is YOU
the Living Sea I love

And will aspire to be with in KIND
FOREVER!
