A poem by Charles Hamilton Musgrove

A Mother To The Sea

________________________________________________
Title:     A Mother To The Sea
Author: Charles Hamilton Musgrove [More Titles by Musgrove]

You are blue, you are blue like the sky,
Cruel and cold and blue,
And I turn from you, voiceless sea,
To a sky that is voiceless, too.

Upward the vast blue arch,
Downward the blue abyss,
With a line of foam where your lips
Meet in a passionless kiss.

But the silence is breaking my heart,
And tears cannot comfort me
With God in His cold blue sky,
And my boy in the cold blue sea.






[The end]
Charles Hamilton Musgrove's poem: Mother To The Sea
