Home
Ocean spray, wind blows
Salt taste on my tongue
Homeward, here I come
Vast blue surrounds me
Birds shriek wildly above
Fish in the water
Salt hangs in the air
Blue sky, blue ocean surrounds
I head home today
Wet water, so blue
I see your secrets hidden
And taste delightful
Eyes closed
My heart cries
I am back again
