I love the sea, I love being near it. The sea is wild and free, with multiple personalities depending on the day, the weather and the moon.
It got me thinking that I've never written a poem about the sea, so one day whilst waiting for the train, I grabbed my pen and this poem ebbed out of my head.
The sea reflects my soul
Turbulent, emotional but whole
The waves that crash around
The most relaxing sound.
The calm exterior is a facade
Controlled, emotions are barred.
Hidden confidence, hidden power
The beach is not a place to flower
Strength beneath the serene
Always bubbling, not always seen
Great things are on the tide
And I am enjoying the ride
The moon gives me my fuel
My time, my life to rule
When I'm done being humane,
My energy goes to the waves again
Forever to crash and pound
Forever to be bound
Twirled and swirled
In the beauty of this world
The beach near where we live is a stony beach and every time we go, we end up a with a few 'must have" pebbles to go home with. I like to look out for the ones that have holes all the way through. It is incredible to think of the power the ocean has to be able to do this. One of our favourite activities is run away from the water and try not to get our feet wet, or water in our wellies, which we inevitably do.
But our latest fun times at the beach include rockpooling and trying not to slip and fall on our asses! Although it is only funny when I do it, apparently.
It is great to have a family of water babies, we all love water in all its forms: the sea, baths, showers, swimming pools, waterfalls, and lakes.
