Call of the Sea Bound Coast

Poem written to the tv theme for the show "Emily of New Moon," and is about my love for Canada's Maritime provinces.

The waves crash against the rocks
The sea moves with the tide
The white sand meets red cliffs
This is my home

My heart is in the sea
My eyes search for the rolling hills
My skin longs for the salty sea air
My lungs wish to take in the air of the harbour

As I look to the East
My heart calls for home
When I see red in the morning
I heed the sailor's warning

When I swim in the pool
I am at home in the water
When I see fish when I shop
I remember how fresh they used to taste

I miss the harbour and sea bound coast of Halifax
I yearn for the Sand Dunes of Cavendish and Stanhope
I am drawn to the dark and dreary mountains of Nova Scotia
I long for the red cliffs of Prince Edward Island

When can I come to you again?
When can I see you again?
Will you heave a sigh and wish for me, Nova Scotia
I will return to you again, my Island

Author's Note

The poem is best read while listening to the song I wrote it from. Here's a link to the song- http://youtu.be/hrx9yc9OcMQ
