The sea is calm today I see
and few the people now
the sun is hot and promises
no respite to allow
Yet I must go and bask in it
for it has been too long
since straying feet have hit the sand
and heard old Neptune's song
There's something that I can't resist
that draws me to the sea
it's oh, so big and full of hope
and lets my thoughts run free
Though I had many urgent plans
to deal with daily chores
a silent sentinel appeared
and pulled me to the shore
All that is now a memory
for I am back home safe
but searing sun and scorching sand
still burn and throb and chafe
Tattooed upon my soul they are
as are the limpid waves
and gently clouded endless sky
stored safe in mem'ry's cave
The sea is calm today I see
and few the people now
the sun is hot and promises
no respite to allow.
