Down By The Sea



"It is in the cold and sometimes lonely days of winter
that i long to see the ocean.
I hear her calling me when the winter wind blows.

Today.... I was there...though not really.
Miles away from the salty ocean air,
a seagull hovered above and perched upon a rooftop.

And, like the wind that calls me to the shores of the playful sea....
a seagull reminded me of the days i've spent there."
(written by me at age 18)

Avec Amour,
~*~Michelle~*~

  1. What beautiful words for such a young girl. With the awful weather around the country, so many of us are dreaming about the breezy days of summer.

  5. Great poem! I've been longing for the ocean myself lately! Trying to figure out how I could live there a few months during the winter!

  7. Beautiful! Many years ago I lived up north on Lake Michigan, it was my first experience of the lake in winter and the enormous crashing waves and beauty of its fierceness captured my heart. I would love to go back there and see it again. Thanks for the memories and the beautiful poem! Theresa xoxo

  11. What a literary talent, starting at such a young age! You're full of surprises, Michelle.
    I saw a flock of seagulls (not the 80's band) in my neighbor's yard yesterday. Come visit me any day! :)
