So, I wasn’t planning on scanning two poems in a row, but I wanted to include this one. I also wrote it five years ago, and this one was included in two of my poetry books – Poems from a Tragic Comic and Episode IV Play. Although this poem isn’t specifically about the Celtic band I love, Great Big Sea, I did use them for some of the emotions I was trying to convey.

Great Big Sea
Calming blue,
Caress my skin as
I dip in.
I taste your salty tears
And hear the cries
Of your up and down waves.
Let my hands
Nurture your nature
And relieve
Your surface tension.
I sit on the beach
With only a guitar,
Singing your songs,
Hoping they soothe
As well as your
Hypnotic Celtic
Iris ripples.
Great Big Sea,
You create my favorite island,
A place without
Fears, cares, or horizons.
Strum my soul strings
And reflect the Sun you bring,
Take me to that place
And leave this all behind…
