Excerpt from page 23 of In The Murmuring Trees:

The Ocean

The songs of sea, will call out to our bones
As fresher waves will roll in gentle purrs,
Our sails will tack, the leeward wind infers
To dream across the tides and seek unknowns.
We dont worry about dark clouds or sky groans
As forces work beyond our sight defers,
I search for rainbows, in the grey demurs
We ride the winds and sea swells high cyclones.
Yet ripples flow on beaches lapping foam
And topple castles made of sand and dirt,
Or stand on stones to watch the sea and roam
As gulls fly near to find a friend and flirt.
On beaches white, we dream a little dream
And walk the shore in symphonies supreme.
