If life is art, brush all my days

in colors of the sea.

The symphonies of gull and wave

lull cares away from me.

When thought is caught in city haze,

when songs of hope grow faint,

the steady rhythm of the ocean

soothes my soul’s complaint.

Sea sights and sea sounds weather well,

like sunlight in the heart––

warming and uplifting every

sacred, inner part.
