Lapping of water upon the shore, Footprints left in the sand erode and fade, Giving its mark back to the beach, Temporary and forgotten.
Roaring of the waves a crescendo of sound, The distant bellow of the great beast that is the sea, An eternal cry of Neptune's beast, A warning and challenge to the brave of heart.
The struggle of water and earth, Gaining and losing ground, Fighting for dominance since time immemorial, Destined to battle forever more.
