Land By the Sea

As waves from the ocean 
reach for the shore,
the wind blows stronger
than moments before.

The seashells mimic
noise of the flow,
while resting on the comfort
of sand below.

The clouds in the horizon
join as one,
as seagulls chant
in rays from the sun.

When the evening star sets,
the birds soar away,
as the overcast darkens
until the next day.
