Uncontrollable
Why are we drawn
towards the ocean?
Liken to human beings,
it has life
energy power
moods
Gazing at the horizon
as far as the eye can see
a vast expanse of blue
peppered twinkling
on a CALM day
Waves crashing
against the shore
consumed with ANGER
Neptune failed
when he attempted
to rule the waves
Just as human beings
the sea has a mind...
...of it's own
Dear Whispers' Family,
It is a pleasure to share
another poem in tribute to Beth. Sadly, we said good-bye to her in October
2015. Beth embraced the Whispers
community, supporting and caring about others with her kind heart. She was a blessing in my life. Beth shared her gift of words for monthly
activities, collaborative poems, individual poems, and uplifting comments for
other writers. She was our September 2015 Poet of the Month, an honor she
richly deserved. She touched my heart. Thank you, to her husband, Geoff, and
Jack Horne for allowing me the honor of publishing this poem. –Karen O’Leary, Editor
