I Wandered Lonely As a Wave

"I wandered lonely as a cloud" William Wordsworth. I wandered lonely as a wave. slowly, upon the ocean's tide. O'er depths of a watery grave alone, in current's wake I ride. Always moving, I cannot stop I rise and fall then curl and drop. I've ebbed and flowed on foreign shores. Splashed on boats with their sails unfurled. From tropic isles to the Azores, welcomed surfers around the world and tried my best to settle down in the port city of Cape Town. My wandering days will not end. I'm diluted from time to time, still a wave but with a new blend depending on the ocean's clime. I like lapping on a sandy beach, keeping just out of human reach. Dolphins swim within my deep swells, but I don't belong to their pod and I cannot befriend seashells, halibut, squid, lobster or cod. I'm destined to wander and roam. It's quite lonely without a home. September 20, 2022 I Wandered Lonely As... Challenge Contest Sponsored by Natasha L Scragg
