Calm and clear and tranquil,

Aqua, purple, blue,

Rippling out to the horizon, 

And beyond to oceans new.

Sue Cartwright

As the sun shone bright;

Over the intense deep blue ocean;

The small boat smoothly sailed;

Moving calmly over the mild waves,

Indranil Bhaduri

Wooden posts on the ocean shore,

Anchored to the beach and the sea floor,

This groyne is no longer on patrol,

With pebbles lodged where once were holes.

Sue Cartwright

The wave is the same thing as the water,

The effect is the cause in another form.

Swami Vivekananda

The three great elemental sounds,

In nature are the sound of rain,

The sound of wind in a primeval wood,

And the sound of outer ocean on a beach.

Henry Beston

When I was down beside the sea,

A wooden spade they gave to me,

To dig the sandy shore.

My holes were empty like a cup,

In every hole the sea came up,

Till it could come no more.

Robert Louis Stevenson

What's best about those seaside towns,

Is that they are like time warps,

And that's why people go there. 

Harland Miller

Live in the sunshine,

Swim the sea,

Drink the wild air. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you feel yourself completely free, you will feel as if you are at a wonderful seaside!

Mehmet Murat ildan

See the line where the sky meets the sea? 

It calls me. 

And no one knows.

How far it goes.

Moana

Take me to the ocean,

Let me sail the open sea,

To breathe the warm and salty air,

And dream of things to be.

Erica Billups

The ocean stirs the heart,

Inspires the imagination,

And brings eternal joy,

To the soul.

Robert Wylan

A busy working port in days of old;

Cargoes of timber, pottery, stone and coal; 

Fishing a tradition with tales to be told;

An ancient harbour on the Cornish coast.

Sue Cartwright

Narrow alley opes wind down the hill,

Down to the harbour and back up again,

Built on the cliffs with open views,

White washed cottages with granite slated roofs.
