Sing me a song
Tuned to bliss
The subtle notes of
Wavelets lapping
On a sailboat keel
So I can rock and sway
In time with drip-drop
Patter on palms
And the see-saw swish-scritch
Of fronds swinging in
Rhythm with a balmy breeze
So I can sway and rock
With the light years of
Crystal whispers
Streaming from the
Infinite sea of space
So I can sway and sleep
Soundly

Love all the water sounds in this. I'd love to be on a boat where I could here the gentle lapping sound of water around the keel too.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture of the sound prompt Sara. :)
Thank you so much! Water in pretty much any form is my favorite sound. I even like the crunch of snow:-)
DeleteThis is gorgeous! I enjoy falling alseep to pretty music or the sound of ocean waves. It always makes for a more reatful night. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel! Nice to see you again. The sound of the ocean puts me to sleep too. Wonderful sound:-)

Laurie, thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! I'm really happy that everyone felt the peacefulness I was hoping to pen. And "Crystal whispers" was one of my favorites too :-) Really been enjoying your poems--emotion, imagery and perfect endings!
DeleteOh, my. This is amazing, Sara. My two weeks in Tahoe included lots of kayaking, so this actually literally makes my heart ache a little bit. Just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteDe, I'm so glad that you had so much time with "your lake" :-)
DeleteYou have written so many gems from that big blue water. Really appreciate your encouragement and high praise--you and Laurie made my day!
so peaceful...the sea sings the most beautiful lullabies and you captured it so well..
ReplyDeleteThank you Claudia! That is quite a poetic compliment, I'm a huge fan of lullabies :-)
DeleteSara, from the literal sounds of palm fronds to the "light years of crystal whispers," I could hear this whole poem before I read the prompt! Lovely write, and I wish I could be sung to sleep by this melody... Peace, Amy
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! You always leave the most thoughtful compliments. Love hearing from you.
