Shining Like Brass

With salt in the air beyond sandy grass
Ocean waves crash on the rocky shore
Under golden sun, shining like brass

Beyond the dunes I could want no more
Where seagulls dive and the sailboats ride
Ocean waves crash on the rocky shore

Seashells float into the caves to hide
Everything rolls in the changing tide
Where seagulls dive and the sailboats ride

The horizon like arms open wide
There lies opportunities to see
Everything rolls in the changing tide

I am beginning to feel so free
There is always new hope to be found
There lies opportunities to see

I laugh with seagulls swirling around
With salt in the air beyond sandy grass
There is always new hope to be found
Under golden sun shining like brass

I can hear the waves, smell the salt air, feel the sun and see "golden sun, shining like brass" in your image filled words Heidi. What a wonderful picture! I love the poetic framework you used to format this poem! Thank you for sharing your time at the ocean!
