To The Sea Poem by Jim Milks

I went down to the sea
To hear the shore birds, so wild and free
To feel upon my shoulders the warming sun
It occurred to me, this is where the world had begun
There I felt the power wash over me

I get down on bended knee
And bare my soul to Thee
At that moment with the universe I am one
I went down

I stand in awe at all I see
The power on display before me
From my body flows my tension
And all of my aggression
Washing back into the sea
I went down

This is another of my attempts at more formal types of poems this is a RONDEAU
