open water
like sharks in the deep
people's thoughts are hidden,
like the creatures of a lost age
hidden memories are forgotten,
to me, my words are something,
to you they are just words,
people come and go
but my words are sharks,
for they live on.

Poetry: The sea
by Natasha Head
Twilight approaches
Casting dull grey shadows
Upon the dull gray sand.
My toes scrunch,
Basking in the coolness
As
by Jon Coe
Deep rolling undercurrents filled with barnacles and old timber
Seashells and sand migrating with the pull of moon's limber
by Nathan Thorn
Pulled by a helpful hand,
High above the clouds,
The deep, calm sea moves up the sand,
Not quiet, nor too loud,
A thousand memories
The Water's Burn
Into frothy, rabid clutches sink
flocks of steaming young and old in horror.
Too dark to see in those coal
by Mike Patrick
ALONE AT SEA
Silent rows of angry waves
Slap against the bow.
With just the movement of the stars
To show time is passing now.
