“Where colors speak, words become silent.”
This cheerful poem by the water celebrates the joy of a sunny morning. With a cool ocean breeze and bright tides.
It reminds us to enjoy life in the moment,– where laughter guides us and we steer our own journeys. Yes, enjoy the moment.
# Captain of My Own Sea #
By the harbour, under morning sunlight,
My heart is laughing, the day feels right.
In the cool ocean breeze, my cap tipped high,
Dreams start sailing where the seagulls fly.
Boats are resting, yet waves still call,
Stories whispered in their gentle sprawl.
The air tastes fresh, like freedom’s song,
Where moments linger, yet don’t stay long..
My feet crossed easy, my smile so wide,
Eyes gleam brighter than the sparkling tide.
It’s not just the sea, nor the view so grand,
It’s the joy of living, right where I stand.
Feeling the calm day by the water’s side,
With laughter and time as my only guide.
Yes, life is like the ocean—wild and free,
And today, I am captain of my own sea.
