Cover of Mermaid Tales by Ocean, a Book of Sea Poetry

I have several books of poetry:
The above is a collection of sea poems, some heavy, and some light in theme - many, spiritual, and many, basic, sensual, and descriptive.

And here is a new poem, in a different tone:
IT SNOWED TODAY
- OCEAN
IT SNOWED TODAY
MORNING-TIME
FROSTED WHITE FUZZY GLAZE
OVER FACE OF SUN
SHINING IN STREAMS
LIKE NEW TESTAMENT PAINTINGS
OF GOD’S LIGHT, ILLUMINATING
HARD BORDERS ON CUMULUS FRAMES
IT TOOK MY HURT TO ANOTHER PLANE
AND I REMAIN
HERE AMONG QUIET GHOSTS.
I WISH THAT THEY’D DISTURB ME.
MY DOGS, SLEEPING NEARBY
SNORE -
THEY KEEP ME- SAVE ME
FROM THE HARSH THINGS,
THE TRUTHS THAT I AVOID
THAT I AM IN
DESPITE MY CHAGRIN
THAT I AM LOST - HERE
WITHOUT
YET I MADE THE DECISION
TO STAY
TO MISS THE WARMTH
TO FEEL THE GLOOM
TO HAVE THE ROOM
TO MOURN
I have been in mourning for a few years now, for someone very close to me.
I am not always sunshiny, and sometimes my poetry is the best way to vent feelings of loss.
I had gone to a place, in a Northern clime, where once I had lived, and was reminded what Winter really is.
I feel for all you who are experiencing the extreme cold - whether of the weather alone or from the loss of a loved one.
Here's another sad poem:
GONE- POEM BY OCEAN
ALL CHANGED
FOREVER, NOW
MEASURED NOT
BY LENGTH
AND TIME
BUT BY WHEN YOU
WERE HERE
AND WHEN YOU
WERE NOT.
GONE, NOW,
BUT NOT
FORGOT
