Here I spend countless hours
encouraged by the vast sea
to train my mind.
Its rolling waves jeously surrender
unchartered space
upon reaching their crest
suddenly
they break
revealing enormous possibilities
punctuated by unconcluded thoughts.
As the new waves form
time lends itself
to consider previous propositions
and bring them to their
fruitful end.

Emeka, I'm glad that this poem had resonated with you.
I haven't really been to the sea. But your poem takes me there and all the right feelings come alive.
Good on sir.
Shifa the sea has a mesmeric influence on our physche. The rolling waves help us to focus the mind and soothes troubles away. Thank you for ringing the like bell.
Can't remember a single instance wherein the sea hasn't encouraged my train of thoughts to make a headway. Enjoyed reading this evocative piece!
Ruth it was nice of you to drop in and leave encouraging feed back. Thank you for the red rose, too.
Really enjoyed you account of becoming entranced by the sea. I especially like the line
'Revealing enormous possibilities
punctuated by unconcluded thoughts'

Thank you for sharing your attraction of the sea.
Just as for you the sea has always facinated me. I spent a great deal of my childhood at the seaside. Although I now don't live by the seaside I regularly steal time to be near it.
The sea air purifies the mind and the soul.
Appreciate you hitting the like, too.

Your constant support is encouraging and always appreciated. The red rose is the feather in the cap.
I really enjoyed this Abdul. The power and magnetic pull of the sea is something I return to continually and whenever I can. ?
Sea itself has many secrets to reveal.
Deep thoughts and inspiring.
