By the sea and the tide,
This path I fly,
Across whale and ocean,
My words cry.

I yearn for the sea,
The tide washes me clean,
I yearn for the man of tide,
But my face is never seen.

I yearn for the loving ocean,
I seek the gentle school of fish,
But on this sand alone
I make this gentle wish…

I enjoyed this very much...I love the water.

This time of year, it is beautiful, cold, and isolated upon the shore, making wishing here a fairly common prayer.  I enjoyed this.

Hello Jessie

This was so very beautiful and so very much enjoyed.  I am amazed that there aren't many more replies so I'll put it back to the top where it belongs.

Take care.......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Jessie -- Welcome to Passions.  The ocean beckons us -- I don't know anyone who does not feel that, so this poem speaks to the masses.
