Listen--By Richard Carl Subber--United States

Listen

Surf sounds, the singing of the sea,

the breaking rollers,

mellowed crunch of wave on wave,

the drumroll of eternal tides.

There is no silent sea, we think….

….consider a sheltered beach,

in the lee of a baffling sand bar,

sea-spawned shoal,

mediator for sea and shore,

muffler of the surf,

tamper of the bursting breakers,

damper of the singing of the sea,

guardian of truth about

the vastly silent blue water.
