The Scent Of The Sea
The scent of the sea cannot be kept,
it’s designed to burst and to be free.
With this sudden awareness I wept.
Waves with intensity quickly snapped,
ocean spray coated my face with glee.
The scent of the sea cannot be kept.
Try for a bottle fate won’t be trapped,
you can’t stop what comes naturally.
With this sudden awareness I wept.
It’s something I know I must accept,
salt lingers in my thoughts heavily.
The scent of the sea cannot be kept.
Tendrils tickled me as a breeze crept
guiding my spirit where it should be.
With this sudden awareness I wept.
Unable to change where I stepped,
I ran off but was caught hastily.
The scent of the sea cannot be kept,
with this sudden awareness I wept.
