One With the Sea

Alone on the sea shore I've found a home, As each night's horizon glows velvet red. Where peace is found in the waves soft foam, And visions begin to play in my head. I walk to weathered music's feathered waves, As they thin on sand soft, pulling away. Erasing my footprints to vanishing graves, A rhythmic tempo of peace they convey. The sea unchanged remains when I leave, And captures the motion of pebbled sand. It cares not for me, or will ever grieve. When my days numbered, cover me with land. To be one with the sea where I am small, Feel the waves rhythm and hear the sea call 9/6/15

I grew-up on the sea shore and it was my first love. Living now about 45 miles from the ocean is about as far as I can get and still feel connected. There are times when the wind blows in the right direction, I lift my head up and tell my wife I can smell the ocean...she thinks I am silly, she grew-up in the desert. Congrats on your win!

The power of the sea. Much greater than man and makes us all know how small we really are. Nothing like the sound of water lapping on the shore and the smell of the salt Beautiful good luck in the contest. Blessings Edith

Yes I can walk to the bay, that leads to the sea , the gulls fly overhead the egrets pick insects from my yard.
