Wayside Walk

Ocean gales and tidal shift Pounding Basalt and sandstone mountains Boulders Rocks tumble into pebbles Mighty trees Uproot and splinter in Neptune's fury Under my feet, Crumbled remains of life Ground to dust by the unrelenting ocean Walking barefoot on tiny shards of glass

I miss the ocean, my first love. Wanted to be a sailor at about 6 years old.

Nice bit of free verse, very sensitively written. It forces on to use one's imagination. Good work!
