Sojourn...

Poem Artwork

To the beach I did sojourn,

Found the pictured shell,

Inside it no resident did dwell,

Only of the sea did it smell...

 

Love do I the smell of the sea,

There I do feel at peace & free,

I offer up to Nature & God a plea,

Please help me to stay free,

This a prayer I offer to thee...

 

Of my ocean I hope you'll with me agree,

I love her and she loves me,

On her waves I did learn to ski,

To her when I am depressed,

You will find that I do flee...

Ed, why is it we are inexplicably drawn to the sea -- especially in times of emotional stress or when we are exceedingly joyful -- our roots, our roots, that is why my friend -- your shell and poem speak troves of who you are, who we as mankind are -- loved it my friend -- peace and love be with you -- Jon Michael

When I was a child and picked up a seashell my imagination would ride into new lands and reasons for why this seashell could now be in my hands. Thanks for the reminder and the love of water we both share.

Never far away from it, the sea has been the only faithful companion.

It is very good that you have such a place, Ed. If you've read my poem posted here at AD entitled, "Near The Sea I Breathe," I think you will understand how I relate. Love and peace to you,

So glad you are again able to visit your Ocean, Ed. Been a while, but I know for you it has been worth the wait...and in a healthier state.
