The Lonely Ocean

Coarse sand clings to my toes

Light, refreshing, salty water
Stained glass reflecting the brightness of the sun
The blue of skies
The purity of the clouds
Everlasting glass smooth surface
More inspiring than the seven wonders
More enigmatic than Mars
Full of secrets never-ending
Volatile, cold as snow
Waves marching into the battle with the shore
Crashing before disappearing
Short yet stunning like fireworks
Unforgettable yet unforgivable when approached too close
High tide, low tide
Splendid moments, gloomy moments
The ocean changes like emotions
The peaceful isolated ocean
My interminable second home
