The Wind of the Sea
by Charles Fisher and Jane Yang
The wind of the sea kisses my face,
Its cool salt tang cleanses the air I breathe;
The wind of the sea caresses my skin,
Its gentle touch, soft and cool, like that of a lover;
The wind of the sea blows in my hair,
Its restless energy clears my head and gives me peace;
The wind of the sea takes worries from my heart,
It gives me infinite joy and cheer, like the sea's wide breast;
The wind of the sea takes me to a distant future,
Where joy, passion and excitement are beckoning;
Ah but the wind of the sea dies as the day ends,
Leaving me with a transcending sense of tranquility,
Of being alive, at peace with myself, and the world.
The wind of the sea will rise again, and...
I will again feel its tender and refreshing breath,
As I face a new day.
I feel it now, the wind of the sea's caress, and shiver,
It overwhelms my senses yet again, Ah... The pleasure comes!
