Our jeans are rolled up to our knees
As we walk along the shore
You retrieve a piece of driftwood
Washed up from the night before

Many treasures of the ocean
Will arrive with the incoming tide
On the edge of this beautiful blue ocean
Is where you and I so often reside

We come here for the serenity
A place where we declare our love
Or to just marvel at nature's beauty
As we watch the seagulls soar high above

Most of all we come here to see the water
To immerse ourselves in the most brilliant of blue
A place to escape from the rat race
Where all our troubles simply fade from view

I always feel very tiny in the presence of the sea, being there I feel nature in all it's strenghts.

OOHHH you must have known I would feel this poem in my bones.

Oh, yeah, there is no better place to get away from it all...wonderful poem!

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
