'The Sea'....by Charles Dennison
Hi! I’m the newest staff member in Belfast. The following is a poem that was written while I was doing some reflecting while preparing to make the move from the States to Northern Ireland. Enjoy!
Cheers,

“The Sea”
By Charles Dennison
29 March 2008
It has been a long season upon dry land
My sea legs ache from lack of rolling sea
Waves smooth as silk and others that roll hard
The taste of salt in the air, a fondly remembered friend
My heart longs to be once again out to sea
To go where the winds take us forward
To navigate by sun, moon, and stars
The compass and sexton are every sailors’ faithful friends
My love is again calling out to me
To the life I was meant to live
Full of adventure, both far and wide
Once again, upon the sea I long to be
