Ocean Waves

In perfect rhythm
A gently flowing ballad
Perfect melody

Tugging at my heart
Softly lifting my spirit
Tickling my senses

A song of beauty
Calling to the universe
To maintain all life

Everlasting tune
Beckoning for all to see
Shimmering with hope


Singing out for peace
In harmony with the wind
Conducted by God

Vince Suzadail Jr. Date: 1/29/2010 6:38:00 PM Nothing like the ocean. I remember sitting with my daughter when she was eight one night on the Virginia Beach boardwalk until about 1AM just watching the ocean. Congrats on the feature. Vince Login to Reply

Ann Rich Date: 1/28/2010 7:44:00 AM I like Lolita better...Good write but I must have missed the boat or the bait, however I do have the creative ability to step in ur shoes and see through ur eyes. This one I would build my own universe with by adding more imagery.... AR Login to Reply
