The Angry Ocean

Whitecaps grow larger at the shore Swells on the open ocean Toss merchant ships to and fro As the Sea exerts its dominance The apathy of the ocean Is evident It's towering waves crash violently Into the face of the shore Eroding its existence Frightening yet enchanting That is the paradox of the angry ocean

"towering waves crash violently Into the face of the shore Eroding its existence." Vivid lines. The poem is rooted deeply in reality.
