My little cottage by the sea stands as strong as can be
inside I’m protected from the winds that soon will batter me
As I walk out the door, I’m still awestruck by the greenery
waves crash and churn on the shore completing this incredible scenery
I walk to the shore gazing at the rolling sea of blue
a scene that has gone on since time immemorial it’s true
But each day seems like a new and fresh start
my cottage, the sea, and shore each doing their part
It’s funny how something seen every day still has something new to say
do we perceive these seemingly minor changes in the right way?
To focus on what the world gives us for free
all we must do is reflect, slowdown, and see
So my cottage and this beautiful sea
is part of nature’s intricate tapestry
The scene fills me with an enduring pleasure
right in front of me is a place of majesty and treasure.
