The Ocean

We watch the beauty of the ocean
along the shore
As the waves, in different forms
has us longing for more

The breeze carries the refreshing
smells and taste
As we sit, lie, or play
and do things with little haste

We stand knee deep, awaiting
the waves slap on the back
We dare her to tumble us
on her next attack

The waters are enhanced
by the sun and sand
that seem to say
"When it's all together, it is simply grand"

However, the beauty of the ocean
quite often disappears
As we have come to see time and again
throughtout the years

The turmoil that breathes below
we cannot forsee
Lies hidden to our eyes
beneath her sea

But when provoked
her evil powers unleashed
Erupts to her surface
screaming, to make its deadly speach

Great ships have zigged and zagged
across her haunting face
To disappear from view, forever
without a trace

So, admire the ocean
from views along the shore
But beware of her
or you may be nomore
