I listened to the ocean today
As the wind blew in melodic waves
It’s a sound I’ve never forgotten
Such a place I’ll forever crave
The sea so soothingly tranquil
Still playing its music in my head
Vivid memories of a distant shore
Seen from the comfort of my bed

Yeah, I was lying in bed one morning and the wind sounded like ocean waves. Brought me back to the good ol’ days.

I love the seashore and the surf-beach, hopefully tomorrow I’ll be having a swim, and your poem is so enticing…

Lol… it’s hard for me to imagine anyone out in the ocean right now. Seeing how it’s in the 30’s here. Had a bit of snow this morning.
