Making Waves


The
ocean
is
struggling
every day
against
the 
shore that 
holds it back, 
Foaming, frothing, 
Crashing waves, 
This fight
will
go on
forever, 
for God
has 
bound the
sea.

I can definitely smell the ocean while reading your poem, and hear the waves as they race to shore. Congratulations on your win, dear friend.

Holds in the basin of His Great heart. Rocks the sea with endless current. Like the bible, borders are to keep us focused rightly in the His Loving Fold. Excellent write to ponder. Well done!
