a lone wave surges, falls, and dips
sensual melting froth on ocean’s lips
stirring siren sea draped in dimming light
this brawny sun kisses her goodnight
great
roaring
all-encompassing body
surging with life
and with death
containing power
that makes all else
frail
thundering depths
raging heights
plummeting and rising
with violence and force
teeming with
other worldly creatures
hiding
deadly savage beasts
soft as a lover’s caress
yet sharp as a killer’s knife
inviting
devouring
embracing
assaulting
beautiful wild ocean
