• when large waves roll in
    most people flee
    but those who remain
    hear the call of the sea

    the foam-capped waves
    are never the same
    they are a force so wild
    that only the moon can tame

    the water around your ankles
    puts a smile on your face
    this act of elemental kindness
    is mixed with grace

    the sound of the sea
    is not expressed in words
    for the area around you
    is not often heard

    the sea is calm
    when it helps you recover
    nursing you with silence
    with water as cover
