Once of the Sea I climb the rocks along the beach, Just beyond the wild waves reach. I sit and stare out at the sea. Its beauty hypnotizes me! The bond between us is quite real. There is a kinship here, I feel. The salty tears I've shed may be Because I once, was of the sea! In some forgotten, distant past, Before my lot in life was cast, But still I feel those ties today. Whenever I can get away, I go to where I feel complete, With green sea water, at my feet! Betty Lou Hebert |

Were I wealthy enough to go where I please on a sheer whim, Trillium, your poetry would have me ever crossing the features of this planet, in one fashion, or another. |

Dear Betty, This brings back memories: I once visited the seaside everyday over a period of months, turning to the turbulent waves for comfort.. Beautiful poignant read, I like it ![]() Love, MiCheLLe If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues |

Now I sure can relate to this one. I haven't been diving in a while and reading this makes me wish I was lost on an island in Belize looking out upon the sea. Debo |

Dear Verbena: It doesn't seem hard for me to believe we all came from the sea eons ago! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
