Wish by the Sea

Wish by the Sea

Painting and Poem by Abe V Rotor

Details of Mural by AVR 2008

Wish the dawn comes early,

     the tides kind and low,

the bay calm and creaseless,

     and time moves slow.

Wish the wind to build up

     to a frightful rage,

the waves lap the shore

     to test courage.

Wish the picnic in another time

     and let the plans be gone;

too mean, or too naïve, the sea,

     it waits for no one.

Wish whichever mood the sea,

     lovers are blinded by ire,

ease and danger, in a drama

     close to water and fire. ~
