A very well-written adventurous poem where the author do the out of the ordiary things instead of the boring things that every one else do. Do what you do well, or don't do it at all,

Lots of meaning in this poem - good job. I like "not a current, but a tide" - and "loving not half but whole" - encouraging poem I feel - Altho I do see Christ on the cross often in my thoughts.
Enjoyed your poem's feeling.

This is a cool poem. Your word choice is great. Your language creates a visual in the readers mind. I also like the picture you chose it goes nicely with the poem. Good job.

I like the theme of enthusiasm and "all or nothing" in this poem. Just did a poem on laughing gulls last month so I get that reference, too. I think the climax of the poem is "I do not love in half but in whole." So then it became a bit more of a love poem, although not entirely so. But the joie de vivre is contagious! Nice share.

Oh where were you before my ship weighed anchor, Sarge!... wink, wink. :) This is such a lovely almost soaring romantic offering.... from not a holy man, not a magic man, not a man who walks the level valley...but one who offers all of himself and his heart besides! :) Beautiful! Thank you for sharing that warmth today... makes a girl giddy all over again!! ;) ;) Yvette

A fine piece of poetic language that flows from pen of heart that hopes outside the realm of man, whose injustice and evil has reigned on this earth for millennial years. Beautifully written free verse, well done, blessings, Roy

You really have a way with words, a gift. Some of the phrases brought clear pictures to mind. Speaking of pictures, I thought the one accompanying this poem went really well with it. The message of the poem comes through really clearly.

What a romantic poem. I really enjoy all the comparative metaphors you use to show the degree of your love (or your capacity to love). Comparisons of "shell" to "seashore" and "current" to "tide" and "wave" to "ocean" are very effective in indicating how expansive your love is, and I suspect anyone would be very lucky to be its recipient.

I don't normally read "romance" poetry, but am certainly glad I did this! Your portrayal of the world is one of wonder. Looking at things that COULD stir us, in a way that does. Love the musing!
