Sweet wind on the western sea, <br />Breathe thy salty mist to me, <br />Seize my heart, <br />As your rolling waters flow, <br />Roaring waves crashing so. <br /> <br />To lay upon your pleasant shore, <br />Your mist upon my resting face, <br />To hear your waves for ever more, <br />They crash and leave no trace. <br /> <br />Roaring down over dunes of sand, <br />Slowly dying, to a foamy end, <br />Beyond the waves, more bubbling foam, <br />Stark sunsets, an evening star all alone. <br /> <br />I look deep at you with no regret, <br />Thinking of days when we first met, <br />In shallow slumber, yet still I dream, <br />Resting hopeful, peaceful, so serene. <br /> <br />My restless, weary spirit flows, <br />No haunting troubles, <br />No more nagging woes.<br /><br />Philip Lore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-mighty-sea-how-i-miss-thee/
