RJ Jeffreys - Poetry
Down By The Sea – Alone
Down by the sea
On a warm September's eve
Alone
A calmed wind caressed my face
As the ocean’s body gently rolled
Overhead, a full harvest moon followed
It glowed with an aura of amber
The undulating sea reflected xanthous
While lips of a wave at shore’s rim,
whispered,
“Surrender…”
I fell to the sand, on one knee
And pleaded to the solitary moon
“Surrender with me!”
The ocean withdrew its whispered
decree
And I, left bathed in amber, my sole
company
Alone
Down by the sea
On a warm September's eve
