Ocean
October 2, 2014
Submerged beneath the waves,
encased in silence,
until Splash I breach the surface
flecks of foam and drops of water
raining down my skin.
The salt burns my eyes
and flavors my tongue;
the sea bellows out a warning
before crashing over me once more.
Roll, roll, roll
hit the dirt
come back up again.
It’s never-ceasing
always-moving,
ebb-and-flow
according to the moon.
A brutal being
but enjoyable as well,
this ocean that I love.

I spend a lot of time at the seashore during the summers, and the beach has been a big part of my life; I thought it only right to write something about it, and I like this one better than my other 'ocean' poem.
