Memories of the Sea - Repost

One night I lay awake listening to the sea The sound of pounding surf on rocky shore Drifting, dreaming, to another time and place As if remembering a life lived long before It was a time of languor, of peace and harmony There was no knowledge of crawling on the sand No fear of tomorrow or the end of days There was nothing to know, to understand Millenniums have come and passed away Simple cells have become creatures of all kinds Some walk upright in sun burnt deserts far away No memory of the vast oceans in their minds Now sometimes, when I am walking near the sea I find it calling to some ancient, hidden part of me For the "Screwed" contest N/A in a previous contest.

An interesting take on the sea, as one who lives near the sea and spent some years at sea in the military it does tend to free your mind and allow it dream in peace.
