Dreams by the Sea - Poem

Written by David Ruffle

DREAMS BY THE SEA A day for dreams The sea is calm and expectant On the horizon a flash of light The sun casts its rays across the sea Like the shadows of a unfurling hand The golden light bathes the town And people awake from their dreams Dreams by the sea The aches and pains of the day before Are forgotten as the life enriching sun empowers them The fishermen stretch and yawn And gaze at the calm waters They smile at each other knowingly Today will be a good day for their dreams Dreams from the sea The sun reflects on the sails of the boats The harbour is awash with light colour and noise Pleasure boats and speedboats arrive Their owners eager to sail A flotilla twists and turns out of the harbour Each man woman and child fulfilling their dreams Dreams of the sea The sea is calm once again Fishermen have returned home with their catch A restfulness spreads over the town Parents put their children to bed And wish them pleasant dreams Dreams of the sea.
