I lost my heart to the ocean. The first time we met, I knew. I was drawn by its endless motion. In awe of it's magnificant view. I watched as waves rolled onto the sand. I felt the cold sea spray on my face. I had never been where ocean met land. A vision that nothing could ever erase. The waves with their rhythm of ebb and flow What they brought in, they then carried away. Their tales from the beginning of time we don't know. Their underwater secrets, not ever on display. The vastness and power of this great sea. Rendered me speechless, and feeling small. I could feel the spell that it cast over me. I knew that I would always answer its call. The ocean sings a song, for all to hear. It's music finds that empty place inside It's age old melody draws you near. As the water dances along with the tide. On this island my dream became real. Peace and contentment have found me. Life's many wounds will finally heal. Forever surrounded by the beautiful sea.

Thank you Kim for the lovely comment. The waves rolling in do sound like wind. When the island wind joins in it drowns out everything else.

"Vastness and power of this great sea. Rendered me speechless, and feeling small" loved these lines as I feel the same every time I am in front of sea, or ocean" you captured the scene beautifully. Congratulations on Potd. Enjoy the honour.
