Surfsong

by Steve Soskin

The ceaseless symphony of a tranquil sea echoes through the canyons of my being filling my emptiness with thoughts of you.

As the pounding waves caress the shore so too does my heart pound with thoughts of you endlessly etched in my essence.
A lonely pelican glides on currents of warm wafting breezes. And I gaze in wonder at its freedom And as it hovers above the shore So too does my heart hover in awe of your essence.

The cry of the gulls in their solitary nonchalance Reminds me of the child, the baby crying on the inside To be held and nurtured in a loving embrace.
The sea, in its endless surfsong sings words of love And I, I sit by the shore Enveloped in the tide of your love.
