Uncontrollable
Why are we drawn
towards the ocean?
Liken to human beings,
it has life
energy power
moods
Gazing at the horizon
as far as the eye can see
a vast expanse of blue
peppered twinkling
on a CALM day
Waves crashing
against the shore
consumed with ANGER
Neptune failed
when he attempted
to rule the waves
Just as human beings
the sea has a mind...
...of it's own

A lovely poem in which you muse about the vast ocean whose moods change continuously. Yes...the ocean does have a mind of its own! Thank you Beth for sharing your thoughts. All the best. // paul

Dear Beth,
