Ocean Waves
Ocean waves
lapping at the shores din
pulling sands out then back in,
a regurgitated rush of foam raised high
whispered crushings in the winds that die
undulating balm that soothes, yet terrifies
a distant mighty restless pang in locomotion defied
called in to rinse and wash the shore
the grit of sand and stone under scored,
a flux of clamshell remnants broken
cracked and severed in then breaker surf awoken
out to the depths in ebb and flow essence
a slave of moonglow crescents,
quarter, half full, and full round it shows
where all the ocean blue tidal crests flow.
