Inhaling the Sea

I ntoxicating scents waft
N ipping crabs scuttle as
H appily the waves lap
A gainst the sea shore
L uring the unwary
I nto its depths
N ever ceasing its motion
G liding ever onwards

T antilizing and teasing
H uge swells as tide rises
E nergetic dolphins play

S hooting through the water
E asily flipping, jumping high
A ngrily chasing off the sharks
