Waves of Melancholy

Photo credit - Truedessa's Collection


Greeted by grey waves, there is a sense of wonderment in an ominous sky. Heavy clouds hover chasing the blues away.  Standing on  mossy rocks listening to the ocean's riffs.  Thunderous roar water crashing, my heart beats, thumpadumpa, deep and gutsy. Breaking the silence of a melancholy mood.  The gulls soar intuitively into unknown realms. Heaven heaves a sigh,  rain falls washing the debris of the day away.


misty messages
connecting heaven and earth
dancing in the rain

  1. Sorry you are having a melancholy day but we all have them. This haibu n came across as meditative. I love the last line of your prose.

  2. Congrats on five years of blogging, kiddo. I am so happy to have met you through your poems, your dreams, your vision. This morning I watched SIX eagles circling on the air currents, a glorious sight, and a promising one. Your poem is beautiful. Have a peaceful evening.

  5. The very sights and sounds of the ocean are grey - it is my new neutral color. When I decorate next, those subdued colors are what I want to paint with. Beautiful poem

  6. Congratulations on five years of blogging. I too am having a melancholy day, which you have reflected so wonderfully in your 'misty messages'. We have rain - I'd better get dancing!

  8. Funny, I didn't find any melancholy in your poem, it seemed full of energy to me. You must be more upbeat than you thought.

  9. This so made me want to stand beside the sea, absorbing what the seashore had to say! Alas, I'm landlocked in middle America, so I must thank you for my voyeuristic moment.

  16. Happy 5th! I hope your mood's better than when you posted this.

    I like the line "Heavy clouds hover chasing the blues away." They may be chasing the "blue" away literally, but not necessarily chasing the blue mood away.
