beautiful longing words and they gave me the same feeling as Tennysons’ ” gull’s song and wind cry ….
I love this poem Lore!! I must go down to the sea again!!
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking…
Beautiful, just beautiful. I’ve been low on my poetry, but I can feel a storm approaching, wonder what it has in stow for me.
PS tennyson wrote Break break break on thy cold grey stones oh sea and And I would that my tongue could utter / The thoughts that arise in me” !!
I will tell you that at an early age I was very enamoured of sailing ships and read many books about it from authors like Melville, Dana and of course R.L. Stevenson tales . then there were poems like the ancient mariner!!
The idea of the sea in all it’s aspects is such an infinite source of our own myth and pscyche!!

Thank you, Cybele. I was inspired by some beautiful music I heard yesterday and it carried me away, made me dream of chasing the wind on the open sea.
