By the Seaside By Literary Owl Nature Writer – Eidan Miana

beach under blue and white sky
Would you like to visit the seaside?
Where the sun kisses the sea
The melody of the waves harmonize
With wild calls on the shore
 
Would you like to see the seaside?
Where sunsets look like paintings
Filled to the brim with crimson and tangerine
The vivid life underwater waiting to be discovered
 
Would you like to visit the seaside?
We can take the sleeper train
Lazily flying down the beaten tracks
Rolling low and slow
Enjoying every moment with you
 
Would you like to hear the seaside?
Coastal gulls breathing the sea breeze
Calling to each other
The steps on the pure, white sand
 
Would you like to visit the seaside?
With the wondrous forest not too far
Complementing the sea with wise, emerald giants
Diffusing the air with delicate floral blooms
 
Would you like to feel the seaside?
The refreshing chill of the invigorating azure ocean
Soaking in the sweet sun
Or maybe resting in the shade, underneath the forest canopy
 
I would love to visit the seaside
When the raging snow melts
The chilling winds calm
And winter takes its curtain call
 
When the gloomy clouds scurry away
And the tune of summer begins to play
I would love to visit the seaside
And bask in its beauty with you
