The Unrolling Expanse Poem by Valsa George
The Unrolling Expanse
Before my eyes,
The sea stretches far;
An infinite scroll of chiffon
Rolling and unrolling
In shades of green and sapphire
A calm expanse with feeble waves
In its sedate hours of brooding silence
As if siezed by an uncanny lassitude
Lying in majesty,
Swinging in ecstasy.
Within this mammoth silver submarine,
How many mysterious live forms thrive!
What curious shaped corals, what varied sea urchins!
What wealth of fish, what gigantic mammals!
Between the blue sky above
And the blue sea below
I see seagulls fly,
The long beaked pelicans prey,
Grampuses heaving their huge forms,
Above the calm surface
And the milky spray
Tossing shiny pearls
Upon the stretching naked strands.
I can see a distant sail
And the hull of a ship,
Gliding over undulating waves,
Leaving a frothy trail behind
With water churning and spiraling around
Where sharks and seals and dolphins swim
Piles of silver clouds move above
And the golden sands stretch below
With periwinkles, crabs and shells
Scattered by the receding waves
Splashing tides, dancing weeds
Rising crescendo, falling rhythm
Oh! What a splendid scene
In the rosy gleam of this evening!
And what delectable mélange
Of tinkling sensory delights!
A great imagery woven through the words unrolling the expanse before our eyes. Beautifully composed poem.
Oh so beautiful description of the seashore which I do no live near. Just thinking of the sweet serenity of the calm waves and wafting aroma from the sea. An infinite scroll of chiffon is a very charming line that is full of grace describing a never ending stretch of a waving glistening sea. An excellent write.
Between the blue sky above And the blue sea below I see seagulls fly, The long beaked pelicans prey, ............... If it'sa well planned earth why life depends on preying the weaker creatures. I thought a lot but I could not understand. Valsa George thinks more than me, writes better poems than me and definitely she is suprior to me. I expect a reply from her on this topic.
Valsa ji, you have very deftly recreated the magic of a sea-shore pulsating with charming gifts of nature and captivating glimpses of marine life. Those who have not seen it will be envious. An infinite scroll of chiffon / Rolling and unrolling / In shades of green and sapphire / Lying in majesty / Swinging in ecstasy /.. And what delectable mélange / Of tinkling sensory delights!
Excellent description of the sea with it's minute detailing.I loved the comparison with mammoth silver submarine, ..... as if I am experiencing standing on the bank of the sea.
Within this mammoth silver submarine, How many mysterious live forms thrive! Brilliant!

The synchronization of thoughts and expressions makes a mystic impact on the minds of the readers and the optimistic note leaves a pleasant memory.
