Ocean Lullaby



This was inspired by a walk along the shore line on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia one evening. We went for a walk along the shore at sunset the murmur of the water lapping at the shore and the sounds of the shore birds. We noticed the lack of noise from the cars and people. A sense of peace and tranquility descended upon us.

We saw the impressions of our feet on the wet sand along the shore and as I am a bit of a romantic drew a heart in the sand with our initials in it.

The sun started to set on a very warm
Summer evening and it made lot more difficult to find your way. As the tide had turned and our foot prints were slowly disappearing with the waves
coming in.

We saw a Great Blue Heron get a last minute snack from the shore and flew off to his Roost on a near by island.

As we got further away from the Ocean the City Life started to take over again with its own hustle and bustle. So I wrote this song. Think of your own walks along the shore as you listen to this.

Enjoy.
