By the Long Island Sound

 

Yesterday’s sky was gloomy and gray

The ocean whipped by wind did spray

 

Birds treaded water in the sky

Screamed at the wind by and by

 

Walk was chilly, wind whipped my ears

Even my eyes bring some tears

 

Weather forcing some gloomy thought

Gray and foreboding ideas brought

 

Another soul on the beach, a photographer

Capturing birds on shore or floating in the air

 

At least it did seem someone else cared

For this morning and beach to be shared

 

Looking forward to vacation by the bay

Hope this works as a pleasant place to stay

 

Sure, it will clear up and happy we will be

For the next day, maybe brighter by the sea
