Ocean Waves

 

A large blue wave with white foam

Forever crashes and pulls on the shore

Crash Pull Crash Pull

A salty spray burns my throat and stings my eyes

Yet the ocean still crashes strong.

Crash Pull Crash Pull

Pokey sea glass, coral, and shells being shoved

like leaves in a windstorm

The ocean doesn’t care, it just goes,

Crash Pull Crash Pull

To the ocean, marine life is as common as sand on the beach,

So the ocean ignores it and goes on

Crash Pull Crash Pull

The ocean doesn’t want to leave the hot sand,

But it must, pulled back by Poseidon

Crash Pull Crash Pull

No matter what, the deep blue waters will always go

Crash Pull Crash Pull

On the hot white sand
