Living Sea

Living Sea Taking breath as ebb and flow of tides; soft or crashing waves her beating pulse. Gentle host; dancing explorers across her back; swallowing undesired guests to her darkest depths. Mother to exotic life unknown; guarding her babes; she's our living sea.

you had some unique lines in this poem that I really liked, such as waves as the beating pulse of the sea and the middle two lines, both were so great to show contrast of good and bad with the sea. Congrats in my contest.
