Ocean's Breeze


By Jenn Somers

Ocean breeze crawls
Through a window pane
Of a little cottage
Down yonder lane
It brings chills
Like the air at dawn
But whispers
Like a tiny fawn
Sending sents of cooking
From a wood stove fire
Telling tales of hope
Love and desire
Around the cottage
It flies
Singing songs of truth
And lies
Until it finds
Another crack
The speed of grace
It does not lack
Then out it goes
Into the morning light
Back to the sea
And out of sight
