To Glide Above the Sea

To be a bird and glide above the sea. How wondrous that would be! To soar so high amidst tranquility while wheeling free above the currents in my azure sky. I’d travel with the breeze in summertime, then fly down low to touch cool salty spray. To be one with such majesty – a rhyme of “sea” and “me” would be this poet’s play! At sunset I would thrill to see the view beyond the bright horizon of the beach. How magical would be the twilight's hue that mirrored rippled water just in reach! And when the moon and stars were big and bright, I’d sweep the tides in stillness of the night. Aug. 23, 2021 for the Writing Prompt, Oceans Or Seas - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France Now for Your Favorite August 2021 Poem- Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France Honestly, this is my favorite one, a sonnet I wrote for one of Dear Heart's latest contests

Andrea, I always get excited when I see you've written a new sonnet, and this one is a beauty. It touches on so many of my favorite thoughts: summer, the sea, stars and moon, and the freedom of flight. Reminds me - I had a flying dream this week, so rare but greatly enjoyed! Hugs ~ John

Andrea, 'And when the moon and stars were big and bright, ~ I’d sweep the tides in stillness of the night' Yes... So nice a Sonnet's flight in three stanzas and a couplet in the night. Would spend all my frequent flyer miles traveling to these wondrous azure skies. -Richard
