If Only For a Day

The salty taste of water,
The rise and fall of the tide,
The clear blue water waving,
And crashing into sand,
I see the sun smiling upon it,
I see the life within it,
And wonder what mysteries it holds,
I see the calm skies,
And the blue waters glistening,
I smell the salt in the air,
I hear the birds,
And laughter of the people,
I see this all so clearly,
If only for a day.
