Pacific's Shore

    Behind closed eyes, the vast Pacific's shore;
    and then an ever-changing sky; the roar
    of crashing waves and undulating swells
    infuse with sounds of clanging jetty bells  
    from just beyond the bay. All these, it seems,
    like sea-foam disappear into my dreams,
    resurfacing in intervals each night.                
    When temperate breezes come, I feel their light      
    touch penetrate my thoughts, and I acquire
    a subtle urge, and then the fierce desire
    to walk the beach.  And like a ketch that sails
    in circles, so this sentiment prevails,
    until I spend a soothing day beside
    the ocean and her eddying blue tide.
