Ocean Side Beauty
My home is by the ocean,
Where the seagulls fly;
Beautiful white wings glistening
Against the morning sky.
Where a cool moist breeze
Gives my face a cooling touch,
While I search after the falling tide
For seashells and such.
I watch the cool splashing waves
As the great tide rolls;
A blanket of water gently
Popping out its folds.
I can sense the glory
Of Yahweh in this place,
Reminding me of the splendor
Of soul cleansing grace.
I know I can’t go there
Until destiny wills;
I journey in my memory,
Experiencing magic thrills.
I can see through my mind’s eye
Such splendorous views;
The sun filling glowing skies
With kaleidoscopic hues.
