My Heart Beats ForThe Sea It's as if I hear you breathing as you knock on my hearts door. All in perfect rhythm of your waves against the shore. Sometimes watching sunsets with you where I take walks. And listen like a lover as you kiss the shoreline rocks. From one moment to another no place I'd rather be. Than looking at your beauty oh how I love the sea. From days when thunder echoes I can almost feel your rage. Each days brand new dawning like the turning of a page. When life is much too heavy and my heart is broke in three. Should you find me on land know my heart beats for the sea. My dreams my hope my future my friend and lover too. Nothing moves me deeper than when by the ocean blue.. Sometimes watching sunsets with you where I take walks. And listen like a lover as you kiss the shoreline rocks. Edwin C Hofert

Who needs accolades when you got a Hofert? Meanwhile, wish you had been in that hurricane churning "beautiful" Sea with us. We could have stood a poetry recital along with a helicopter! Have the kind of day you like! Thanks

Your love for the sea is obvious here. And what at beautiful picture of the sea. Where is that? It might add to your poem if you put a caption under your picture. .Darlene

The picture is from a place called The Commons. It's just off the shore of Hampton New Hampshire. Thank you Darlene for giving it a read and taking time to say hi. :) I'm grateful!! Ed
