The Sea
Gently, silent waters
lap soft against the shore,
kissing stones and pebbles,
retreating then once more.
Blue to gray, colors blend,
combining sea and sky,
merging joy with sorrow
beheld in each mind's eye.
Seasons bring harsh changes,
waves rage against the land,
some see the storms as fierce,
while others think them grand.
Deep in the depths of darkness,
the sea will measure man,
taking ships to the bottom,
breath from his lungs, if it can.
Some only find grave danger
in those waters vast and free,
tho' others seeking pleasure,
find pure serenity.
