Call of the Sea - Ellie Portner


The sea calls to me
It has wrapped me in
Invisible strands
To hold me close
It tells me I have returned
And we must be together

The sea brings me waves
One after the other to seduce me
It calls the sun to warm its waters
That I may bathe in comfort
At sunrise and sunset
It paints its surface
So that I will never
Leave its shores
But wait patiently each day
To praise its creations

The sea lures me
With soaring Pelicans
Nesting Ospreys
And small birds hunting prey
In freshly moistened sand
Along its shores

I am a victim of its persuasion
I am found in the pleasures
Of living on its shore
I am a child of water
