The Ocean
Swish swash, swish, swash
Back and forth, to and fro
You must keep steady watch
Or you'll be gone before you know
To witness is a gift
To experience, a blessing
Surrender control, and drift
Be moved with no contesting
Fingers braising as it breaks
Skin heals, once emerged
As if your on a date
With the mighty Mother Earth
Mindless chatter silenced
Swaddled in nature's blanket
The rocking results in wind
All else, you soon forget
A sandwich of clouds and waves
You are, but a bobber in between
Wedged in a beautiful array
Of endless hopes and dreams
