The seagull shrieking in the near distance
is the cry of my heart for the sea
I so long to be near once again.
The puffy slanted clouds are held
by magnetic tendrils I can almost feel
gently being pulled like a marionette
across the pure turquoise sky
with fingers tracing deep
in the ocean current.
Sometimes, I like to close my eyes
and I can still smell the sea
and its lusty yearning back for me.
