A Place I've Never  Been

As clear as glass I see the water rippling to the shore
I clearly hear the rushing tides, meeting those that came before
I smell the scent of things unknown amidst their wet domain
and feel the cool, refreshing mist, like springtime's gentle rain
A salty presence on my tongue, my senses sharply keen
Imagining the ocean, a place I've never been.
