THE OCEAN

At the beach I love to sit

and watch with silence 

as the waves sweep across the ocean 

and back to the shore

and listen to the messages 

they carry across

I love to watch 

as they carry remains 

onshore and in to the ocean

I love to feel the sand beneath my feet

and the water brush against my skin

the awe and marvel in it

warms my heart 

makes me reminisce 

good moments life has given
