THE CALL OF THE SEA







~~ THE CALL OF THE SEA ~~






On the beach the sun was beaming down on me
So I thought I would take a dip in the sea,
I reached the point where the water met the land
My feet disappeared into the soft sand.


~~  ~~~  ~~   ~~~  ~~  ~~~  ~~  ~~~  ~~  


The water rushed in and lapped around my feet
It was exhilarating and such a treat,
I felt my feet sink with the pull of the tide
And way above my head a seagull cried.





I waded in deeper up to my knees
Yet I could hardly feel any sea breeze,
There was only a swell upon the sea
No white rollers to crash over me.


~~  ~~~  ~~   ~~~  ~~  ~~~  ~~  ~~~  ~~  


The sun glistened upon the salty sea
The cool water felt like paradise to me,
The water was ever so inviting
It`s caress on my skin was so enticing.





Deeper I waded `til I was on tip-toe
But no further than this would I go,
I know my limits and here I would stay
From here I could see the whole of the Bay.
