Waves Of Emotion

The sea appears ghostlike From under the blanket of mist Its waves gently rising Gently falling, until….. It stealthily reaches the shore Encroaching; Encompassing; Possessing all within its grasp Until….. At the turn of the tide It leaves as ghostly and As gently as it came. The sea rages forth Beneath the stormy clouds Its waves violently crashing Violently pounding, until….. It throws itself on to the shore Forcefully; Fiercely; Powerful in its intent Until….. At the turn of the tide Against its will, it retreats Its mighty force spent. The sea mirrors the blue sky In the reflection of the baking sun With hardly a wave at all It lazily, seductively laps At the foot of the golden shore Luxuriantly; Lusciously; Romantic in its embrace Until…. At the turn of the tide It yields to its master's call And the spell is broken.
