Sounds of An Ocean Shore

The roar and thunder from 
ocean waves crashing
back and forth against 
black sandy shores
sounds like a symphony of 
cymbals and kettledrums, 
as the tide rolls in…

Seagulls bobbing up and 
down upon crested 
waves waiting to get 
uplifted by a gusty wind…

Catching breath, they pause 
to nibble on tasty schools 
of fish dancing near the 
surface edge…

Nocturnal sea creatures 
yarn, stretch, and adorn
themselves with rocks and 
seashells…

I am dreaming… 

as the ocean kisses the sky I sit in complete comfort
Of the quiet and beauty in the midst…

I bask…

At the stroke of midnight,
the waves parade in a moonlit
dance ritual, making hypnotic
sounds off of the ocean’s shore

I am captivated, I am caught up…

The roar and thunder from the
Oceans waves crashing
Back and forth against 
black sandy shores…

Sooths me.
