Lullaby Of The Sea The calm cool waters of the bay Are clear and blue by light of day But when the night begins to fall The sea begins its goodnight call As gentle trade winds start to blow The moon brings forth a gentle glow Its mellow light shines mystically And glistens softly on the sea Beside the shore the air is kissed By cool and salty ocean mist Where tiny bits of star light play Across the waters of the bay The waves then start to play a tune While dancing underneath the moon The surf brings every note ashore To place them at the ocean’s door When the tide comes rolling in The waters sing of where they’ve been A lilting song of far away That softly calls and seems to say "Dream with me my tired friend Until the night comes to an end Let me wash your cares away And rock you here ‘til break of day" So if at night you look for me Upon the shore is where I’ll be A place where I can close my eyes And hear the sea’s soft lullabies |

So if at night you look for me Upon the shore is where I’ll be A place where I can close my eyes And hear the sea’s soft lullabies Sigi Sewasham,I do not know if you and the others understand the Water Magic is strong at this time,we feel the mystery call of the secrets that need be shared of ancient days and ancient ways,but my friend you do hear her! blessings

you had me with the title...love the sea/ocean, unforgettable love is her trademark, fiercely determined to project an enigmatic identity...so much about self can be learned from the sea.... Beautifully written, very much enjoyed |
