A Sea View

A Sea View A sea view Of aqua hue, Greets the skies As waters rise, A peak, a surge Swells and merge. The pebbles wake As waves break. Curling, foaming, Lapping, moaning, Licking, lashing, Stalling, crashing, From ocean floor To grip the shore, Scoops every grain To let them go again. In the sand appears Scattered souvenirs Of broken shells And fishy smells, Where cockles yearn For the tides return, To the shiny beach Where gulls screach, Who stomp their feet To coax, to eat, Before waves seal That elusive meal. As the sea glimmers The horizon shimmers, In the suns rays That reflect the haze Where shadows prance When silhouettes dance On the breeze that gloats On the sails of boats, Shoving, pushing, Swishing, whooshing, Spraying, heaving, Coming, leaving, Relentlessly until Once again is still, When in awe I'll gaze Across the bays, Under blazing skies That fix my eyes On the hypnotic blue Of a sea view.
