Come To the Ocean

Come to the ocean and breath deeply Taste the salty mist, hear the gulls cry See the whale spout far in the distance Touch the sand and let your tears fall Salt to salt, the earth will be patient For it knows you will return some day......

Packing up the car and headed to the shore ... I wish. Nice write Barbara - I agree nothing like the splendid ocean breeze to cure all that ails you.

Beautiful piece, Barbara - I especially liked the line about the whale (we don't see them over here). Many congrats to you too, my friend : )

"That great shroud, the sea." something like that. Melville would love this one - the flavor, the mystery, the power. Love, daver

Fragrant smells! Ah, the salted air of the ocean is alluring no doubt. Beautiful imagery and a picturesque painting in words.
