The sound of the sea

The sea is part of my life... I've grown up having the Atlantic Ocean

as a friend in which I know I can rely on... The infinite ocean is a kind

of a confident...  As I take my walks along the sea shore I have this habit

 to tell the greenish/blueish waters all about my hidden  secrets,

 fears, doubts and joys!

The Sound of the Sea

The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
and round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thank you!
