Poem
Trip To The Sea The morning dawns brightly with just a hint of chill Sunlight dances through the trees while playing tag with the elusive breeze Our hearts are light as our excitement unites with anticipation And we set off to visit the rugged coast of Maine We strike an eastward course as we seek our destination Over roads cloaked by lush trees that caress us with their shade Passing homes and barns sprinkled sparingly throughout the countryside Farms sharing natures bounty,appreciating what this land has wrought The air is cooler as we inch closer to the water The oceans fragrance impacting on our senses Swells rushing to greet us The sigh of ripples touching the shore The time softened shape of rocks challenge the waves that wash over them Staying but a moment, as if banished to return from whence they came Shoeless, we pick our way across the slippery stones, Feeling the warmth the sun has deposited there We reach the surf and misty spray embraces us I taste its briny flavor on my lips My footprints in the sand quickly vanish Devoured by the lapping of the waves Seaweed approaches, reaching out to touch our ankles While we scour the gray brown sand for the oceans gifts Small shells and smooth stones vie for our attention While shards of sea-glass become new found treasures Soon the restless sea again asserts its power Reminding us that it is time to go As it tucks the sand beneath its deep blue blanket Til the morning when it all begins again
