Hear the Ocean A Calling
The brine scents the evening mist
A sweet salt taste of ocean spray
Waves bring in so many treasures
Sea birds singing songs to those away
Oh heart, dear heart return again
To your Atlantic paradise shore
Won’t you come home again?
Ne’er to roam from here no more
The waves will sing you a welcome
You’ll smell salt cod on the stove
Home brew beer chilled in a cellar
Why would you ever want to rove?
Home folks greet you at the door
Hugs for friends and strangers too
Down here its all are welcome
No matter what you say or do
Ships passing in the harbour
Blow their horns as if to say
Hello all ye from Halifax
I hope you all are well today
So all you transplanted Easterners
Pack your sea bags come on down
Come on home to the Maritimes
Turn upside down your city frown.

This was beautiful, Fee. I love the warm feeling I get from this. I was always a summer person, all welcoming friends, family and guests to my house. Nova Scotia sounds like a great place to live.

Within fifteen minutes I am on the Atlantic shores and in five I can relax, fishing on the St. Johns...and in the evening I retreat to the woods...The only thing I'm missing now...is the mountains!
Enjoyed the expression of this write!
Love and Peace~

My family had a friend with whom we've lost touch, and he may very well be deceased, who would travel from Ohio to Nova Scotia, every summer. I've never had the chance to go there, but your poem has made me long for a trip. Some say that I live in paradise, along the Gulf Coast in Texas, but the summers are too hot and the hurricane threat is too plentiful. I miss the northern summers, very much.
I loved this poem; it is a well written ode to the region and a wonderful welcome for those who will visit.
Thank you,
Jill
Can I bring the tribe??? :)
Smooth write, silky smooth.

Your poem has certainly hit home with me during My past few days here in Maine. I love this town (Portland) and all it's coastal charm. I'm really considering making this a new home...at least for the summers...
