Jessie Wilcox Smith 1863-1935
she dreams of the sea
the moments when she can run free
chasing the tide
counting the waves
she dreams of the sea
the beach
where there is endless grains of sand
shells that sings songs of time
she dreams of the sea
the salty air
the misty haze
she dreams of the sea
enchanted ones
whom only she sees
sirens that speak
for only her ears
she dreams of the sea
a cool breeze the carries her in its arms
swirling around and around
she dreams of the sea
the bits of rocks
the shards of glass
tumbled so softly
glistening in the sun
treasures from days gone by
she dreams of the sea
oh mama...when will it be

Lovely and soft piece of poetry, like the dream you speak of...you can sense the enchanement she feels being so close to the sea..and the reassurance of her mama near....Beautiful Monday's Child....bkm

Lovely dreams of the sea!
what a sweet and tender idea...
love the verse and the picture you chose.
Faerwillow, your poem just brought me the soothing breeze of the sea...
And thank you for your kind words. You are always so generous. I would say the same thing about your gentle soul and probably so much more, my sweet friend...(an embrace)
What a wonderful poem! And I love the last line about her Mama! Thank you too for your visit and kind words - they really mean a lot, Kristin xo
I dream of the sea too...
Lovely poem!
very charming, thank you for sharing it with us.
Now this one really made me miss the beach and the ocean. I can almost smell the salty air. I am now living in Kansas. As far from the beach as one can get I guess. But I remember my days in the oceans and the gulf. And this lovely piece made it even easier to remember. Thanks! :)
That's so lovely, I read it again and again. I do so enjoy my visits to your blog, I've been reading all your recent posts too and enjoying your lammas inspirations!
