The Sea

Oh I’d like to go down to the sea and the surf,

To feel the sand, the wind, and the waves,

Salty air takes me away my care, a boat me away from the turf;

And if it be a sailboat I shall not think twice,

Over the tide, rhythm, and rhyme,

To bring me that peace even a breeze will suffice;

For it is out on the sea away from the land,

My spirit takes flight like a bird,

Gliding along, the freedom I feel is so grand;

Sails full of wind are the angels’ wings spread about,

At the sun I stare; God is there,

It’s an awakening I cannot live without;

With the wind blowing through my hair it is a prayer,

And I feel at one with the sea,

For her powerful rare ride fair makes me go there;

Then back to the shore, to land I stand in the sand,

And look out to the sea and dream,

Of a sweet song I sing along, the waves my band.
