I grew up by the sea

Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon

It’s been a year since my last trip to the beach. It felt so good to feel the sand at my feet, listen to the roar of the surf and the cry of seagulls and see the expanse of blue sky caress the ocean.

White sand stretches all the way to Seaside where we stopped for lunch at a seafood restaurant.

Ripples of sand flutter along the shore at the slightest breathe of summer wind. 

I grew up by the sea

It’s always with me

No matter where I go

I hear its warm hello.

It’s been too long

Since I’ve heard her song 

Feeling her today

Nevermore shall I stray. Charie Albar
