After a transformational week at the inner leadership course last week I did an overnight stay by the sea in Sitges, where I had also began the week. It was healing and restorative to be near to the waves once again and I fell into a lovely deep sleep shortly after having written the following lines.
Here is the link if you would like to watch the filmed version of my poem :
Sea Sent Live Version
Sea Sent
I need the vast horizon, the spirit of wild wave
I need the curling gusts of tide, the energy displayed
I need the sensuality of spacious, free expression
The push and pull polarity of seaside decompression
I need the laid-back scent of salt
This harbour holds my yearning
I need to breathe, accept my faults
Compassion is my learning
I need the sea inside of me
Outside of me, around me
It’s spirit leaps with pride in me
It glides in me and grounds me

Lovely poem, Sam. I liked lines 3 and 4 the most, the flow, the rhymes, the alliteration, the spot-on sentiment. I’m not much for laying on or playing on the beach, but I love the calming rush and retreat of waves, the tangy salt smell of the ocean. 🙂

Yes true. We have the lakes in Switzerland which are stunning and tranquil and at the same time I do need a regular break beside the sea!
