Sky

Ocean’s Dance:

Waves that dance upon the shore,
Ocean's song, forevermore.
In their rhythm, life's pure beat,
Waves that crash and then retreat.
In their whisper, secrets told,
Waves, the ocean's heart of gold.
In their dance, the world's alive,
Waves, where spirits thrive.

Sky

Tidal Grace:

Waves that rise and gently fall,
In their motion, nature's call.
Ocean's heartbeat, strong and true,
Waves that whisper, "I love you."
In their touch, the sand is kissed,
Waves, where heaven and earth exist.
Tidal grace in endless flow,
Waves, where life does grow.

03

Sky

Eternal Surge:

Waves that surge and crash with might,
Ocean's power, pure delight.
In their force, the world does bend,
Waves, where stories never end.
In their strength, the earth's embrace,
Waves, nature's wondrous grace.
Eternal surge of blue and white,
Waves, where dreams take flight.

The Surfer’s Plight

I thought I'd catch a mighty wave,
To surf the ocean, bold and brave.
But as I paddled, up it rose,
And knocked me down, from head to toes.
I tumbled, spun, and gasped for air,
That wave had taken me somewhere.
I washed ashore, a sandy heap,
My surfing dreams now buried deep.
I'll try again another day,
When waves are calm, and skies not gray.
Until then, I'll just lay low,
Avoiding waves' mighty blow.

Wavy Woes

On a sunny beach, I tried to float,
But waves had plans to rock my boat.
They tossed me here, they tossed me there,
With salty spray and tangled hair.
I clung to raft, I held on tight,
Those waves were strong with all their might.
They rolled me round, they flipped me high,
I thought for sure I'd touch the sky.
But then they calmed, and let me be,
A dizzy soul, lost at sea.
I crawled ashore, on wobbly legs,
Those waves had cracked my surfing eggs.
Now I sit and watch them play,
From a safe distance, far away.

Wave’s Embrace

In oceans deep where waters dance,
The waves roll in a rhythmic trance.
With crests so high and troughs so low,
They grace the shore with ebb and flow.
The wave, a symbol of the sea,
Brings the ocean's song to me.
In every crash, a story's spun,
Of nature's power, of morning sun.
Through stormy nights and calmest days,
The wave's embrace is nature's praise.
A force of water, wild and free,
The wave's own tale is eternity.
