Sea's Calling
Lingering near the beach house open door
Wishing for escape to the sun drenched shore
Amid the crashing of the blue green waves
Enveloped by the salty water the body craves
Gulls swooping toward residue left on the sand
Straining to see a whale emerge from a sea so grand
Ships far away making way slowly toward the docks
Dreaming of sailing into the horizon beyond jagged rocks
Eyes close momentarily for relief from sunshine’s ray
Then open as waves come crashing toward the bay
Breeze pushing it's way inland filling me with seas scent
Walking barefoot in the sand as the water begins decent
The sea calling out drawing me near
Oh to be lying on golden sand in salty sea air
