An Ocean Scene

I love the ocean on a summer day
The sun’s reflection dances on the waves
Upon the cliffs I view across the bay
As water gently glides into the caves

The ocean's colours start with shallows clear
The sandy browns and greens and blues I see
Upon the breeze the placid waves I hear
As seagulls squawk and children play with glee

But then the sky turns dim and waves go CRASH! 
The wind whips up and seagulls all take flight
The clouds above are now as grey as ash
The sea begins to really show its might

Yet as the sun sets I feel truly free
This tranquil place is where I’m meant to be

It is fabulous to remain calm in the throes of a storm.
