There's something about the sea

'Come Dance With Us At The Sea'
(prints in various sizes)

There's something about the sea

The smell of seaweed and salty air
that clings to hair
and leaves a fine film on sun-touched skin

The sound of waves pulling back across loose rocks
tumbling them slowly into sand
The chattering of seagulls fighting over clams
and bits of crab left over from pots pulled up at dawn

The crunch of sand and rocks
beneath your feet
as you walk with head bent
searching for sea glass and agates and shells
until all your pockets are full

Watching the sun set
and the moon rise
reflected across water
and into your soul
