Unrequited - the sea and the land

[written_leaves]

A verse written up while at the coast - the sea forever reaching for the land while the land turns its gaze to the skies.

Unrequited

Ever the sea desires to reach,
Presenting waves, in diamonds each;
Forever spurned by the distant land,
Gems left stranded upon the beach.

Unadorned by foam, the forest's hand,
With streams too sweet for salted sands,
Verdant, lush she turns her eyes
And thoughts to higher, windswept plans.

The wind and fresh-iced airy skies,
It draws earth's heart, her longing's rise;
And yet knows not her sad desire,
And turns to stars, whence its love lies.
