Tides of Delight

I hear the music of high and low tides
The cheers as the sea bursts in clapping waves
High it is, as the sea has reached its aim
Its heart for so long drawn to the coastline
Sitting pretty under moonlit skyline.

And even when the sea is at low tide
Hear its cheering continue on faintly
Like the sounds of distant drumbeats, waiting
Its surface sparkling bright in the sunlight
The shore captivated in tides of delight.

Captivating write, Caroline, especially for those of us who go offshore fishing and are ever aware of the shifting tides. The way waves burst upon the shore in high tide and are heard just faintly during low tide are described with poetic intensity. Beautiful work, my friend. Love, Carolyn
