Each nebulous wave born of tides and shifting innuendo
Exhuding life without firm heart but rhythmic all the same
Your salty spray revives my dulling breath
You cannot quench my thirst but yet exceed the depth of any driven wells
And through millenniums you dominate the earth.
You are a keeper and a giver of all life
You nurture all you hold and yet beyond your rhythmic nurturing you are wondrous too.
I am in awe of you.
Driven from the depths we cannot see but sense.
By invitation you are sought by surfing men
Unseen cycles drive you to our shores
You come to us on summer days in subdued foam
Along all shorelines you are home.
Exalting spirits with your misty spray and salty breath
Away on every pore , each strand of hair, I find you there.
By midnight moon you soothe each sense untouched by sleep
Lulled by lapping waves now making drowsy dew to bring a peaceful rest.
Impetuously, you come upon the shore in sudden storm
You are the god of salty oceans and of seas reborn.
Fury from earths fathomed whorls of emerald, flow into our azure pools.
Monumental walls of life and death you bring,
You swallow life in unsuspected paths yet still we mortals fear to know.
Each wave falters, yet unfaltering falls into it’s fate below.
Oh tides of blessings and of death determined by your wavering force
Your rippling waves beyond compare to other waters flow.
You are the giver and the god of life
You are the giver and the god of death.
Tsunamis sudden shadow whips your wavering undertow,as
Deep within your berth your rumbling rushes pave a watery path.
Bestowing life, bestowing death,
Passing peace further beyond the girth of each recruited wave.
Born of tides and intimate reflection
Awaiting destiny at waters edge.
Waves, you are the beauty and the terror of each shore.
