The Sea at Night

I always forget how

the sea acts at night.

It is not calm,

nor peaceful.

It is violent, and

swells in moonlight.

The salty air

turns brittle, my tangled hair.

It is colder here,

than just five miles in.

And so dark.

I also feel that sea acts violent at night but still it is a beautiful sight to behold. I liked this poem well written.
You made me reminisce a night where I stayed near a seashore in a home stay in a new city to which I was a tourist and the waves of the sea were loud enough to be heard from a distance and I felt asleep listening to the melodious noise of the waves. I can never forget that experience. While I was reading your poem this incident just flashed in my mind. Thank you for sharing such a lovely poem ☺

Quite beautifully written... You managed to express a very apparent side of the sea... I will love to read a little more...

The sea at night may howl violently but still is one the most meditating moments to just sit and listen to the ciphered advice the waves bring. My bad days have allways been near the waves, Just sitting there on the boulders and watching the mist dissolve my pain has been my method relief. My boys night out starts on the beach and ends under the emerging dawn. so, your words fell right near my eyes. Thanks for sharing... and if you edit this please let me know.
