“Seas”

E .L. Gardner

Watching the sun, set o’er the Northern bay

As waves wash the shoreline, in rhythmic melody
I recall the memories you gave to me
Singing our song, gulls soar above our path,
the sand lies below our bare feet
We share a love, in perfect harmony with nature
As my eyes scope the horizon,
I feel the love, the hope, the peace your embrace gives me,
One day, my love, we’ll set our course and sail the many seas –
For the seas of life await our journey.
