By the Sea |
|
||||
 |
The
rolling rhythm of the sea
Still
sings its soothing harmony
Upon
the rocks crescendos crash
Creating
sprays that gently splash.
The
Briny air chimes that I'm home
Beside
the ebb and flow of foam
Along
the endless stretch of shore
It
saturates, fills every pore.
The
seagulls soar so gracefully
Above
a sun-flecked tapestry
Of
undulating gray and blue
From
days of old yet always new.
The
sanderlings dash to and fro
Delightful
is their feathered show
As
with the ocean they play tag
In
hopes a tasty meal to snag.
We
stroll the shoreline's velvet sand
Enjoying,
sharing, hand in hand
So
far removed from churning srife
That
is the bane of city life.
Perhaps
one day right here we'll stay
Between
the ocean and the bay.

The Masterpiece |
|
||||
|
The
canvas brushed with life-like hue
Can
make me bid today adieu;
I
travel back to years long past
To
carefree days that went too fast.
Along
the shore in fair Cape May
I
frolic in the ocean spray
In
simpler times of long ago
Those
gleeful ones that children know.
I
build grand castles make of sand
Enchanted
by this magic land
Of
crashing waves and briny foam
That
chimes a tune that I am home.
The
artist brings a world to me
Of
innocence and revelry
A
masterpiece of days sublime
That
I can visit anytime.

Memories on Canvas |
|
||||
|
Between
my toes I sense the shifting sand
I
deeply drink the shoreline's salty air;
Each
stroke created by artistic hand
Recalls
those simpler times beyond compare
The
stress of cleaving care is washed away
I
sail serenely on a sea of dreams
Arrving
on the coast of fair Cape May
Nostalgia
floods my soul in constant streams.
The
graceful gulls cavort in skies of blue
As
dancing sunlight plays upon each crest
God's
majesty bursts forth in vivid hue
Upon
the canvas and my soul is blessed.
Enchanting
seaside memories designed
Exquisitely
are captured in my mind.

Sandcastles |
|
||||
|
The
ocean plays its rythm soft and low
And
floods my soul again with peacefulness
Transporting
me to shores of long ago
On
cresting waves of joy and happiness.
I
drink in memories of childhoood
Immerse
myself in innocence and glee
In
carefree days where it was understood
Imaginaion
ruled reality.
Grand
castles made of sand housed ladies fair
And
gallant knights were always close at hand
To
battle dragons, banish every care
Preserving
honor far across the land.
Awash
in swells nostalgic I can find
Those
magic times again that were so kind.

My Fair Seaside |
|
||||
|
The jutting
cliffs above the sea
The velvet
sands along the shore
Are calling
me, they beckon me
To come
again, to come once more.
The graceful
gulls that soar above
The salty
spray, the lapping tide
It's all
that I've been dreaming of
...To see
again my fair seaside.
The gentle
rhythm of your waves
Your vast
expanse...it humbles me
Your
majesty, my heart, enslaves
Yes, I'll
come once more to the sea.
The velvet
sands along the shore
The jutting
cliffs above the sea
Are calling
me to come once more
They're
calling still; they beckon me.

Your Majesty |
|
||||
|
I linger
there upon your shore
And long to
linger evermore
And gaze
forever at your sea
Such
captivating majesty.
Your rolling
waves crash on the rocks
And dance
about your weathered docks;
Gulls swoop
and soar above each crest
Inviting me
to dream, to rest.
Your 'Lovely
Ladies' line each street
And charm
the hearts of all they meet
And bid them
graciously to stay
Abide beside
the ocean spray.
I long to
gaze upon your sea
Such
captivating majesty
Upon your
shore I long to stay
Forever,
always, fair Cape May.
