The Ocean’s Melody
As I walk along the promenade…
I stop for a moment…
I look out…
And see the ocean view…
I gaze at it for a while…
Taking in the view…
One of the best I’ve seen in a while…
Of the glistening ocean next to me…
I close my eyes…
And I hear, a song..?
I turn to where I hear it…
But there is nothing but the ocean in my stead…
That’s when I realize…
It’s not someone playing a song…
Someone singing or humming a song…
It was coming from the ocean…
From that moment onward….
I was able to hear it….
The ocean’s melody….
