The Sea Holds Many Secrets Poem by David Harris

The Sea Holds Many Secrets

Rating: 5.0


The sea holds many secrets
in sleeping ship that lie below.
For centuries, thousands of ships and men
have met a watery grave.
Some have been lost to storms
that seem to come from nowhere,
while others to battles fought at sea.
Whatever reason they went down
their secrets went with them.
Now the sea holds many secrets
and is reluctant to let go of them.

the sea is really calling you......writing about it's many tales today.....there should be a saying for the sea as there is for walls...if they could only talk we would hear all those tales and secrets lost to the seas

See your in a Nautical mood today, once went to the silly isles, they have a Museum there, all the beautiful figure heads are on display, from the ships lost there since the early 1700, I think you would love it.. Andy 10

Geeze, you got me craving to take to a Nantucket Sleighride, David! Sterling imagework, indeed...Smooth, crisp & tight construction makes for a reading as comely as an Atlantic ocean-breeze...Good Stuff, my friend, as always & ever! ~ FjR ~
