Tides of Delight

I hear the music of high and low tides The cheers as the sea bursts in clapping waves High it is, as the sea has reached its aim Its heart for so long drawn to the coastline Sitting pretty under moonlit skyline. And even when the sea is at low tide Hear its cheering continue on faintly Like the sounds of distant drumbeats, waiting Its surface sparkling bright in the sunlight The shore captivated in tides of delight.

very good; its difficult to describe the sea in a manner that is original but you I think have managed it Caroline!

Captivating write, Caroline, especially for those of us who go offshore fishing and are ever aware of the shifting tides. The way waves burst upon the shore in high tide and are heard just faintly during low tide are described with poetic intensity. Beautiful work, my friend. Love, Carolyn
