THE SEA TO SEE <br /> <br />the sea saw her first <br />'Oh! ' said the sea <br />'Oh! said she <br /> <br />she chased after a wavelette <br />the wavelette <br />chased after her <br /> <br />'Look...me in sea..me in sea! ' <br />sea puts an arm 'round her shoulder <br />smiles as the camera goes click <br /> <br />sick mummy <br />she brings her the sea to see <br />cupped in her tiny hands <br /> <br />the blue house <br />with the yellow door <br />patchwork quilt dancing on the line <br /> <br />waves shyly lick <br />between her toes <br />as if she's tamed an ocean <br /> <br />an ocean <br />like a genie let out of a bottle <br />walking beside my daughter <br /> <br />an ocean <br />smiling with all <br />its horizon <br /> <br />some scattered birds <br />like thoughts <br />the ocean has thought up <br /> <br />not willing to leave it <br />she cries to the sea <br />'Shhhhhhh....! ' shushes the sea '...shhhhhhh! '<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sea-to-see/
