I pine for the Sea evermore

I thought I’d share a little poem, “I pine for the Sea evermore”, that I wrote a couple of months ago, when my burning desire to be near the Sea was at its climax. If I remember correctly, it was shortly into my Summer holidays whilst quarantine restrictions were tighter. The idea for this title popped into my head, and I knew I had to do something with it! Thus, this poem was born.

This poem is a solid reflection of all that I adore and find wondrous about the sea, and I hope you get a Voyage of the Dawn Treader type of sea spray when you read this 😉 (That was a horribly structured, nonsensical sentence.) Anyway…

maybe play this as u scroll down and read for an extra-briney effect hehe

I pine for the Sea evermore
Its waves and crescendo I seek
The soft and Golden shore
Is sure, lush, and sleek

I long to tread the dunes
The feel of sand on feet
Sunflowers, seaweed, June
My joy invincible complete

I pine for the Sea evermore 
The brine within my hair
My heart begins to soar
Oh sweet July so fair

A heart of Saltwater
I have come to adore
The Call grows hotter
Summer beckons with allure

I pine for the Sea evermore
My cares forever here cease
For the Sea erases my war
This is home; my soul is at peace

Thank you for reading!! When was the last time you made it to the ocean? Will you be able to head back out there soon? I’m very blessed that my favourite beaches here in California are open, and I’ve been able to assuage my longing a couple of times these last two months (social-distancing style, of course!)

p.s. here’s my vsco for some more seaside snaps 😉

p.s.s. here’s some more of my creative writing, if you’re interested (:
