Senses of the Sea

Senses of the Sea

We set sail with the morning breeze.
Upon the horizon, the sun is just appearing.
I gaze in awe at the breathtaking beauty,
as the morning mist starts clearing.

In the wake of our departure,
I listen to lapping waves upon the shore.
Ahead, a vast expanse of sea awaits,
full of new experiences to explore.

As the wind fills the sails,
they flutter until they reach full mast.
My excitement increases with each knot gained,
until we've obtained top speed at last.

I feel the sea's spray upon my skin,
and the breeze as it caresses my face.
The breathtaking beauty of the morning has changed.
Another horizon has taken its place.

My sense of time was forgotten.
Unaware of the hours that have passed by.
I listen and hear the subtle differences.
I realize, now, the sun is setting in the sky.

We've sailed inland, back to the dock on shore.
Left behind me, that vast expanse of sea.
Still in awe of the breathtaking horizon,
a peaceful serenity washes over me.
