Today, Beside the Sea

The Sea
Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven


After I left the fish tank
I lived on a nearby riverbank
Close to the connected sea
I would look beyond the ocean
Out to the dark blue horizon
As far as the eye could see

That was the ocean
That was our river
And now her river has been set free
An ebb tide that flows through me

Today beside the sea
I wait here
For tomorrow’s horizon
To set me free
