WATCHING THE SEA

WATCHING THE SEA


I seem to have a special
Affinity for sea.
Simply sitting by its side
Always makes me carefree.

In the morning when the ball
Of golden fire ascends
To distant waters, it a
Colourful aura lends.

Noon-time when the sun is high
And scorching is beach sand,
Wallowing among the waves
Is such a cool errand.

As sun dips down in the sea
And night tides chase the moon,
Music of the waves lulls me
Into revery soon.
