Impression Ocean<br />
by Jaco Beneduci<br />
<strong>The</strong> earth and sea, one eternal embrace,<br />
One grace, a premarital coastal trace<br />
Sighs of swells, water’s whisper, strokes on shore.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work of waves: the ocean wanting more.<br />
Every wash upon the rock: all sea-by stones<br />
Are subject to the carving of ocean crones.<br />
As time permits, she crafts beneath the lather<br />
In the depths, her great jewels will gather.<br />
Azure bed-wights of abysmal plains<br />
<strong>The</strong> cyclic currents of joys and pains,<br />
Could begem the shattered and smooth the coarse<br />
To ordinate this bedlamic force.<br />
In her deepest moods come the ocean dead,<br />
Phantoms in the wake of darkness lead,<br />
Ghosts that bleed fluorescent light,<br />
And make the chandelier of blue twilight<br />
