What the Sea Means to Me

What the sea 
means to me,
  
As I stand 
feet in sand,

Sunny skies 
in my eyes,

Water blue 
greenish hue,

Waves roll in, 
dreams begin,

Splashes up, 
fills my cup,

Spirit buoyed, 
no more void.

Ocean birds 
sing the words:

"Come and fly, 
let fear die,

No more roam, 
this is home."
