🌊⛵

In an appartment beside the sea
I will sit on the balcony and sip my tea
Toast for breakfast with marmelade too
While I look out at the sea
And decide what to do.

It's first to the market I will go
And buy a few goods from a shop that I know
Then it's back home again for a long walk that is slow
Watching shop windows passing by as I go.

Next I will take a walk by the sea shore
In my bare feet
With my sandals in hand
 I will explore
Looking for seashells
Among white pebbles and sand.

I will board a sail boat to travel the cove
While sailors sing sea shanties
To the sound of the waves
And watch the gulls flying fast by the caves
Swooping for fish that they spy on the waves.

For lunch I will sit upon
The cliff top
With a picnic basket
And a checked table cloth.
I'll eat a fine lunch of bread, salmon and cheese
And drink a good wine
As I dine at my ease

Then I' ll lay back and have a long nap
While the sun shines brightly
Atop sparkling seas
With foaming waves
And gentle breeze
Dreaming of lands I have not
Yet seen.
