I Hear The Ocean

Finally
I saw the ocean.
It was huge,
loved the waves.
Found this shell, pearl pink inside
They call it a conch.

Now I can listen
to the roar of the ocean
whenever
I want to.
Hoping to return
and live here.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    I am with Fireblossom, Maybe listening to the seashell is a siren call to return to the ocean.
