What poets write

Some poets write about flowers
some poets write about the sea
He, the old poet writes about vast oceans
and his love/ hate relationship he has with
the many oceans crossed.
he has seen when the sea turns into watery mountains
when he was an autumnal leaf clinging to life
the warm night when the sea whispered join me and
your struggle will be over,
how tempted he was.
He could have been transformed into a dolphin
elegantly and life enchanting.
Covering long distances with smooth moves.
But he knew the oceans wroth did not trust it enticing words
it could be made him into jellyfish.
So it was the shore for him where he holds on through
the pandemic and hope to survive.
