SPOKEN WORD: “DIVINE SAGES” By Estari

Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 16 Comments »

Something happens to a woman as she ages, after the many inner wars she wages, after the last of the maturing phases, she is lured into the realm of divine sages. :-) Peace. Love. Harmony.

I enjoy writing poetry and I have already published two poetry anthologies, since the filming of this particular video.

“Sea-Fever”

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
