Coastal Emotions Poem by Matthew Holloway

The sea salt scent
And sound of waves upon the shore
The call of seagulls
Far, far overhead
And out, out to sea
That vast, almost endless
Ocean to sky horizon
The endless possibilities
Of life and lives exist
In dreams, songs and poets
How peaceful this place is
peaceful still as a storm rages
Beyond the shore out to sea
A far distant picture
Draws ever closer in winds
The salt sea scent
The seagulls return
You may leave the coast, yet
In the mind it all remains
