It has been too long
since I’ve felt the sea salt breeze upon my face
and skittering through my long, dark hair.
It has been too long
since I’ve tasted the tang of the ocean
upon my tongue
and felt the surf rushing up against my legs.
It has been too long
since I’ve been by the sea.
My soul is aching for it.
My need fierce.
Such is how it is with me.
A girl with the ocean running through her veins
cannot be without it for long.
And it has been years.
I am wilting amid this landlocked life.
At times undone by it
and searching for another breath,
breaths easily taken
were I to be by the sea.
My need for sea and silence growing
every year
as I change
and evolve
into more me
than I’ve ever been.
The girl with the sea
in her soul.

I will see the sea in June but not to swim in. Too cold. Smiles. I hope that your holiday is a lovely one.

Absolutely beautiful. Has it been too long? Or were those beautiful words pure fiction.

Thank you. No, not fiction. Smiles. It’s been too long. Grew up by the sea. Landlocked now. Didn’t see it last year but will see it next month, not to swim in…just to inhale. Which will have to do.

Inhaling it and seeing it will be great. Probably will bring back a rush of memories. That will be wonderful. I hope you enjoy it to its fullest.

I agree dear Poet. I need a year near the sea. To gather my thoughts back.
