Watching the Waves

 

The ocean can 

swallow you whole

so you stand 

on the sand 

so as not to 

tempt or test it

as your thoughts

roll in and out

with the waves

or soar with 

the sea birds

catching the wind.

It is a sensation

that his hard to

mimic in the Midwest

so you do your best 

to take it in 

while you can.
