The kind you can put
up to your ear.

i wish i had a seashell

the kind you can put

up to your ear

i would love to put

it up to my ear

right about now

to hear the ocean waves

roaring and crashing

such sweet sounds

especially when they

are all around

the waves crashing

the seagulls crying

as they fly by

but do not be confused

for those cries are free

and they are happy

and tender as they fly by

it is about perception

can you not see?

the smell of the sea

the salt of pure white

its smell is so familiar

it belongs with the ocean

i wish i had a seashell

    I missed that sound. I like walking along the shore and just listening to the sound of splashing waves and the cool wind blowing. A lovely reminder, Carissimi

    There is a place here where I like to walk by the lighthouse, and I have listened to the wind, waves, and birds as they home in on the beach. Wonderful, just like this poem!
