The Ocean

Waves…
Endlessly crashing against the shore,
Another always close behind…
Rising and falling forevermore.

Splashing! Spraying! Rising so high!
Sunshine- sparkling like diamonds
On the surface of the water, and the sky!

Wondrous scene- created by God’s own hand,
Majestic, magnificent body- separating land from land.
Scooped out- by design, in His master plan-
Supplying energy and omnipresent beauty,
Expressed just for man!

Thank you Janice. This is my first 1st place win on Poetrysoup, except for a tribute I did for 2 other poets. I am excited! :)
