Just Me and The Ocean...!

fileId:3096224744107374;size:inter;

Just me and the ocean

A sensational feeling

Leaping off the coast

Spreading my wings

Gliding through the air

Nothing else, compares

No matter how much time goes by

The ocean smell is always there

Reminds me of the days

Unloading all that was sad

In this immense creation

I was more than just glad

Just me and the ocean

I miss with despair

The salty taste

I really don't care

The cleansing effect

That liberates me

From day to day mishaps

That makes me feel free

* The credit for this amazing photo goes to my wife.

I asked her to capture me gliding in mid air and she did...!

We were on our annual Italy vacation 10 minutes from my parent's villa in the Mediterranean Ocean,

Were we spent most of our younger years.

What a shot...thank you honey...!

Beautiful.
Mediterranean sea not ocean !
There is always this confusion; friends of mine from the US are always asking me if I continue to swim in the ocean as before. I think you are used to the word and did not pay attention.
love and light

That makes me dream. I can't wait for vacation...not the ocean, but the 'inland ocean', Lake Michigan. It's so inspiring to be there...

Not to take away anything from the ocean but I prefer our fresh lakes here in Mich. I was spoiled growing up on Lake Michigan.

I agree Shannon, it all depends on were we grew up

Beautiful poem, and great photo too! Living on an island, I should be able to go to the beach more often. Maybe I take it for granted, because is so close by. But I still love the smell of the ocean breeze, and the way the sand crumbles beneath my feet.

thanks for all the great comments,

Aurora I lived there 15 years and took it for granted, but somehow I always found myself around it all the time.

Thanks Jean, for the nice comment.
