The Ocean (Hybridanelle)

Moving ridges - blue, green salty de-bree Lightly, sweep the beach; As inland rolls the sea All species, shapes shells' species, Tumble to shore, scoured by wind, by sand Frothed, hi-lo crests, toss, create odd creases Ocean sounds, subdued to loud Galaxies twinkling, twinkling, over sandy shore Moving ridges - blue, green, salty de-bree Limicoline birds probe of tiny beaks Cerripedes cling - of rock jetty walls Tumble to shore, scoured by wind, by sand Dephinidae family-play, chirrups avow Perceived near silted edge As inland rolls the sea Blessed - this Shangri-la Peace, quiet soul Creation, presented us Euphony, miles around Tunes linger over moist earth Moving ridges - blue, green salty de-bree Humility - our Ever-so-ever thankful Peace, quiet soul Waves' tumble, night does endow Loose sand - wet clay As inland rolls the sea Visons 'cross vast waters Ruffles of promise dapple there Ever-so-ever thankful Righteous melodies heard Moon casts it's shadow Moving ridges - blue, green salty de-bree As inland rolls the sea Placidity drowns fears All shells, shapes, species Ruffles of promise dapple there Frothed, hi-lo white caps, toss, creates odd creases
