The Ocean
The hypnotic rush of the water
The deafening roar of the waves
A rhythmic song punctured by the crash
More precious than silence
Pushing and rolling and folding over itself
Foaming and stretching out onto the shore
Clinging on to rocks and sand
Letting go of shells and seaweed
Always crawling so close, teasing and taunting
The smell of salty danger evident
A deadly allure
Spreading like a contagion
The clouds open up, letting slices of sunlight through
It sparkles and dazzles with such brilliance
It shimmers and dances with such radiance
It was blinding, so I went into tiding
I really enjoyed reading this
I really enjoyed reading this piece, brought a sense of calmness to me as I read it :)
Thank you!
Wow, thank you! That's exactly what I was going for. When I was sitting there looking at the waves, I felt this amazing calmness, and I really wanted to exert that calmness in my poem! Thanks!
