As old as the world and endlessly fascinating: the seas - whether they are called the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, or the Dead Sea. About 71% of our blue planet is covered by them. What abundance! The essences of life are contained within: water and salt. And just like the coming and going of life, the tides: ebb and flow. In this book, you will find stories and poems about the sea and its shores. Experiences, inventions, the strange and the poetic. What a peaceful place it is, where on a clear day the wandering gaze reaches to the horizon. The breath fills the lungs with delicious air, leaving behind a salty zest for life. The steady sound of the waves, caressing the shore, leaving their treasures on the beach to be collected again with the next wave. What an aggressive place it is when darkness falls.
