The motion of the ocean

Sheer music to my ears

The soothing back-and-forth

As each wave disappears.

< ---->

A gentle rhythmic potion

Colors of azure blue

Wrapped inside a sandy cup

An impression from my shoe.

< ---->

The motion of the ocean

Lapping at the shore

Again and again, you return

Just like you did before.

< ---->

Like verses of a symphony

The rise and fall of notes

Relentless, endless reprise

Oh! The magic of your notes.

< ---->

I sit down on your sandy shore

Mesmerized by your sound

The motion of the ocean

What a peaceful, calm I've found.

< ---->

[Author's note: The perfect antidote for stress: A mild sunny day, a gentle breeze that urges the rhythmical back and forth of the waves gentling lapping the sore.]

Thanks for reading,

Calvin
