At The Break Of The Tide

The seductive allure of the sea

I stand at the side of the break of the tide -
as the world falls away at my feet
My soul takes to flight and my senses delight -
in the melody teasing and sweet.
As the pull draws me on t'ward the depths of beyond -
and the fathoms lie full o'er head
I drift with the flow as it ebbs to and fro -
softly shimmering sand as my bed.
As the weed wreaths my hair I let go my despair -
and my troubles grow distant and dim
In the soft dappled glow of this world far below -
far away from the dissonant din.

My mom is the same :) I often go looking for her and find her out on the terrace in the dark looking for shooting stars :) there is definitely something about a night sky especially that draws you in its almost undefinable.

I like the rhyme scheme and the nice image you create. Lovely use of words, like in "softly shimmering sand as my bed". Good last line, as well.
