     The sun rises up 'ore the horizon
     as it paints it's colorful sky,
     leaving traces of last night
     as it slowly slips on by.

     Lovers have walked hand in hand
     leaving footprints on the beach,
     the fisherman sets his pole down
     and waits with pole always in arms reach.

     The tides crash in upon the shore
     as the birds fly free above,
     a little child chasing his dog through the sand
     so full of energy and love.

     I breath the salt sea
     and listen to the sounds,
     of the breeze sighing it's sweet song
     as the tide slowly pounds.

     I sit here and watch the beach in the morn
     as the sun has now risen,
     and a new day has been born!

On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

This hit home. I used to fish on the south Jersey shore...this describes it beautifully...and now that I'm in Florida it capture it again. Thanks.

I saw the ocean for the first time last spring and this is a very gentle reminder of the beauty of it. Can't wait to return!

Rose, how right you are, there is nothing like the beauty in the ocean.
