Notes About The Poem

the sea beckons

the sea lures me
    as waves run 
         one after another

splashes over the silvery sand
    and moving shingles
          slow tide flows inwards
                holding me 
                      in its spell

 crabs are carried 
towards the deep salty sea

I stand mesmerised
      listening 
                  to its melodious thrill.
seagulls invite me

                 I just jump into the sea.
