The Wind of the Sea
The wind of the sea kisses my face, Its cool salt tang cleanses the air I breathe; The wind of the sea caresses my skin, Its gentle touch, soft and cool, like that of a lover; The wind of the sea blows in my hair, Its restless energy clears my head and gives me peace; The wind of the sea takes worries from my heart, It gives me infinite joy and cheer, like the sea's wide breast; The wind of the sea takes me to a distant future, Where joy, passion and excitement are beckoning; Ah but the wind of the sea dies as the day ends, Leaving me with a transcending sense of tranquility, Of being alive, at peace with myself, and the world. The wind of the sea will rise again, and... I will again feel its tender and refreshing breath, As I face a new day. I feel it now, the wind of the sea's caress, and shiver, It overwhelms my senses yet again, Ah... The pleasure comes!
