The call of the sea

The call of the sea I walk alone Amid the crowds Of unsmiling grim-faced people And dream of turning into a white bird And fly away From the noise surrounding me I hear in my heart The call of the sea Quiet under the moonlight I want to see each star Shining in the night sky And know peace Even as cars rush by In their hurry to get nowhere I ask myself If there is a magic word I can learn To turn myself into a white bird Flying over a sea Bathed in silver moonlight
