Bracklesham Dreams

Bracklesham Bay has been in my dreams
For quite a number of years.
I remember many days of laughter
And sometimes even a few tears.

It's ocean breezes touched me
As I walked along the rocky shore.
Picking up fosseled sea shells
Searching and finding even more.

Sometimes a storm would roll in
Throwing waves high in the air.
I watched sea birds flying in the wind
So many precious memories to share.

I remember quick trips to the grocers
And all the smiling faces I would greet.
To be included as one in their little world
Was to me a most wonderful treat.

No one knows my feelings of sadness
When I lost my dreams some time ago.
And though I search but haven't found them
They're still there somewhere I know.

Yes, this was a second home to me
In my heart it still is so it seems.
Each night as I rest my head on my pillow
I pray let me go back to my Bracklesham Dreams.
