There are seas with names
but no one knows where they become oceans,
their waves move on
crossing that imaginative line.
We whispered each other’s names
we have moved from sea to ocean;
you became a bit of me
and I’m a piece of you now.
Our shells will wash ashore beaches
to join many others,
all proof of the silent fusion
that happens under the surface.

Beautiful!
Hi Wendell thank you very much
Ina….this is a gem….I so love it…and totally agree with the sentiments involved. Beautiful!
Hi Elaine, thank you very much!
Ina, this is wonderful. I love the image
It creates of two ( or more ) people coming
together. Great work, it was nice to wake
up to this
Hi Fred, thank you!
Ahhh … Ina. If I ever wanted to be awashed on imaginary seas or under deep oceans–transporting my senses, all I need to do is read one of your poems.
Hi Walter, take a plonge any time!
Your usual high standard Ina.

A magic poem, Ina. What a wonderful love poem, but also a poem that embraces the earth. I agree with dfb, David, in this work the sea and ocean have been big metaphors that have the surface meaning of a love poem, but also a deeper meaning, one doing with
Our shells will wash ashore beaches
where the life of the sea creates beaches that link together into both the sea of, and the ocean of, the world.
Hi Thomas
I suppose the sea is a never ending source for thought.
thank you very much, it is always such a pleasure to read your comments!
Ina, this is my new favorite of yours – I just love it! It moved me in a way that’s hard to describe – total resonance with this ocean/sea metaphor. Thank you.
Hi Betty
thank you very much! I am very glad it has a meaning for you
I like the image here, Ina, that seas become oceans without us knowing when – and the parallel you draw with relationships.
Hi John
thank you for reading! It is true, when do we move from one form of relationship to another, sometimes it is vague…
Those last lines really express something very profound, Ina! Over and over the sea “speaks for you” so distinctly…and I’m sure that will go on and on…
Hi Diane, thank you very much!
This is so lovely, exquisite–anything about the ocean attracts me!
Hi Caddo, thank you very much!
