Day at The Coast
written by: Remy Dambron
before we see the ocean
we can often smell it
rich brine of dampened weeds
salts and sun kissed kelp beds
blankets of algae stretching across the surface
scent so familiar we almost taste it
earth’s sulphury coast
coming alive
before we see the ocean
we can often hear it
gulls of the sea singing as they soar
swooping as they spot snacks
to snag with noisy beaks
boat horns blowing in the distance
frothy waves crashing
hollowed shells whispering among rocky shores
before we see the ocean
we can often feel it
misted marina breeze soothing
our cheeks
soft air enveloping our skin
a cosmic energy seducing us
like lunar lures
leveraging tides and sandy pools
when we finally see the ocean blue
everything else for a moment fades away
as we look out toward the edge of the world
moved by its magnificence
enchanted with its boundless wonder
lost anew in its eternal bliss
