Across the Sea

PoemPhotography
Written By J. S. Clawson

The midday sun warms my soul

A gentle breeze stirs tendrils of salt air

Minnows gingerly nip at my toes

High above the lone gull cries

You laughing at me again, silly bird?

Pay no never mind, nothing can dampen this spirit

For you see, I have deep joy in my breast

The return of my love may be today

From across the sea he is long overdue

With all my heart I worry not

For on the day my love departed

The long embrace and soft kiss

Told me of his safe return to my arms

So laugh you silly bird

For on the morrow it may be "Sail Ho!"

I took this photograph while visiting the northeast coast of New Brunswick, Canada.
