Sea Angels

Sea Angels

I walk the ocean sands
and wade among the waves.
I see an angel in motion
dancing on the foam.

This angel swirls and dips
the tutu fans with lunge; 
Ballerinas in mid air
Or wings of glossy jell.

Fragile form yet vile
Like love you've had awhile.
Beautiful, yet stings
Jellyfish at the beach.
