Across the Bay

The waves clash heavily with the rocks.
The sky all scattered with its blue hue.
The birds fly with their flocks.
They're free to soar without a cue.

The water stretches far over the horizon.
The palm trees sway with the breeze.
The south wind blows... unchanging direction.
The world and other things seemed to cease.

I see the dolphins jump in different ways.
To breathe the air is part of their needs.
But I would gladly trade my every day's
most precious belongings just to see the ocean beads.

Though, magnificent the earthly wonders may be.
To be part of the sea is what this heart has yearned.
Maybe someday I'll be a part of its epitome.
But for now, to love it is what I have learned.

Watching the world and its beauty unfold
Eternity would seem like a day,
For the seas, the oceans, and the skies are stories untold...
Stories that can never be revealed in just one say.

In the deepest trenches of the sea,
There are things that cannot be replaced in any other way.
In my mind, those that are hidden are what I see
As I watch the beauty unfolding across the bay.
