The Tides of the Ocean

The tides of the ocean
flow as they rise and fall,
guided by the forces
of the moon and sun,
gravity is the common
denominator of tides,
walking along the shore edge,
my feet jump with joy as
the tide comes in,
a refreshing tingle alerts
my nerve endings providing relief,
of tired extremities cleansed
by the briny liquid massage,
I think I know why the ocean flows.*
