Thoughts Straying in Words

In the City, I don't really belong

Where it's chaotic and crowded;

In the sea, all day and nightlong,

Where materialistic life enshrouded,

By the ever-changing scenic view,

Of the creative arts, Nature drew; 

In the sea, steering about in a boat,

With a grey-haired man and his wisdom;

Waking about on a beach, of an island remote,

Or drifting with the current of underwater Kingdom;

Here I am, with thoughts straying endlessly;

When I'd rather be, close to nature where it's heavenly.

Cheers!

The Natural Pair

After few days of dullness,

Shying away behind clouds;

Today, shining in its fullness,

In the blue sky, the sun is proud;

Chilly wind died off, for now;

The trees greener, standing still,

With no movement in the bough,

Leaves spread-out to light, for refill;

Quiet and warm at the surface, 

Providing for all the lost tears,

Of yesterday sky, and all other days,

Mighty sea with bright sun; a natural pair.  

Cheers!

Hammett
