Carrying On.
Ocean crosses curved world by
pulling its waters
through both ebb and fall tides,
keeping back flood
from land's well-bolstered sides
so safer feel folk
though close to sea they reside
granite's strength know
Fishers must face day and night
life carrying on
against great crashes and cries
of breakers' huge maw
while men of true courage fight
to keep boats on shore
for when waves become mighty
real test has begun.

Good write again Fay.
We have a saying here in Hawaii: Never turn your back towards the ocean! And your incredible poem tells us why!
The power and ferocity of the ocean really comes through , very good poem Fay
Living by the sea, one learns of its might, but making a living on the sea, one feels its might. A struggle for sure, one that is often lost, and courageous men die. Loved your poem that brought it all back to mind. - Phil A.
