On Wisdoms Wing

On top of wings in morning air
the pelican carries my gentle song
of oceans salty pulse we share
along the shore my carefree steps belong

to sooth my soul as waves collide
and chase the morning stars of night away
with talk of jumping little fish beside
it’s days like this that made me want to stay

so swift the flight of thought across my brow
I still my pace to gather wisdoms speak
Least not I miss what’s said to me right now
My journey flows like waves to shore does seek

So blue this sky, so wide this sea
Against the far-off grey lines leading edge
Just let a little bit of heaven cling to me
I seek my highest steps upon its steady ledge

Hi Vijay, Thanks. I was really working on the meter for a nice flow. I'm glad it worked. :D

Yes, I love this little town I live in, here in Mexico. The sea is my constant companion, whether I walk her edge or just feel her breeze.
