An Ocean Between Us:

Walking along the shore
tis often something I have done
the waves gently lap at my bare feet
and my eyes scan the horizon
ships sail on by
and gulls dip for sprats
the sun begins to kiss the sea
and everything is coloured
hues of red and yellow
and a distinct orange
caress the water and I
the cooling waters refresh my mind
and the gentle sound soothes away
the worries of another day
tis been a while I have walked
looking for something
seems never to be found
like when you search for shells
and only find a broken one
but you strive on
to find that perfect one
only to find a different one
and whilst pretty so
its not that specific one
but still I walk still I search
in the hope of finding that
majestic one
someimes in utter temption
you may see the one you need
but as you go to get it so
before you know it
its taking back by the sea
tis now I have learnt
we cant always have what we want
or need for us
but we can always admire its beauty
so admire I will
and watch I do
in the hope one day
I will find that perfect shell
tween this ocean thats between
you and me....
