Crashing and thundering on the silky sand Sleeping never, neither in night nor day. Changing in the blink of an eye from Calm, peaceful, happy To Raging, violent, deadly And again to soothing and gentle. Causing shipwrecks and bringing danger OR A feeling of contentment and awe at the beauty of this world Children dance in and out of the playful waves, laughing Swimming, boating, fishing, looking for shells around and in you Touching all shores, Earth wrapped in eternal embrace. Yet still, you crash into shore, wanting to be among friends. Why? Are you lonely, Ocean?
