Oceans rise and fall
to the rhythmic breaths of our
luminescent orb

Good Morning John. Just beautiful. I enjoyed how you incorporated the ocean and her tides. That was a wonderful poetic touch. Well done entirely. And congratulations also with your entry. If I haven't told you yet. You truly have mastered this style.
