The Ocean Bells

 

It is before dawn

 

the sun is still in bed

 

at the shore end

 

the sky lightens up

 

and the sun pops out again.

 

The seagull looks docile

 

water remains placid

 

the girl stands there,

 

her curly brown hair

 

in a cool ocean breeze.

 

 

 

It is skin dip hot

 

the noon wears no cap

 

after a glass of ale

 

I take a fizzy nap.

 

Water is warm now

 

sand turns white to grey

 

that seagull remains there

 

waiting for his prey.

 

 

 

Evening falls slow

 

the sun starts packing down

 

a lonely dolphin, off shore,

 

flaps back to her town.

 

the sky looks foamy

 

light changes its hue

 

a series of blurred visions,

 

like Monet’s Impressions

 

hover on soft blue.

 

 

 

The night hops

 

it's all deep dark

 

only a lighthouse blinks

 

at a distant far. 

 

I look up to heaven

 

I want to see her face

 

the ocean bells,

 

a tiny magic spell

 

shuts my eyes close

 

I lay down on St.Pete bay

 

my memory fades  away

 

and the ocean allures me again.
