under the pier breakers splash pilings semidarkness each roller awakens me to the breath of the sea

You're the one with talent my friend... so few words but a MOUNTAIN of meaning and splendid images. '...each roller awakens me to the sea's breath,' OUTSTANDING! Brevity is so very often better than loquacity! Well done my friend!! Keith
