Wonders of Nature

A beach or beaches, so many to explore, Ocean or sea or bay are viewed, some never seen before Familiar rocks, lighthouses erected to save lives Seagulls activity, their sounds and out of control flight. The sea seems to call like sirens from sea adventure tales Stories of Mermaids, Neptune and Davey Jones locker The loneliness of sailors as they sail the seven seas Memories Abound as sea shanties are sang. Waves breaking as they roll to the shore Slowed down until they are no more Soft sand or pebbles dependent of time gone by Sand to walk on, it squelches between toes. Pebbles that hurt feet, protect the coastline Sounds of pebbles moving, as the tide washes over them Angry waves soothed as they reach the shore Tides relentless movement for evermore Fear of watching the sea in the darkness of night What lays beneath the sea surface? Another world, all fish species fighting for their lives Fishermen, why not fisherwomen described? When do they decide, their catch enough will fill? Regulations looked after by whom Fishing boats with massive nets drag the ocean floor No creature is safe from these marauders. Restaurant fish meals, eyes looking sad Better to choose cutlets, no feelings of where from Feelings whirl as you leave this wondrous haven Striding through life with new found admiration.
