Spirit Of The Sea
By Tom Stanley



Water, deep blue-green;
The sea ebbs, flows with the tides,
It's lunar interplay. 
Waves, crashing breakers on the shore,
Erasing footprints,
On the sands of time. 
The breeze, cool, salty,
A remnant of storms past,
The spirit of the sea. 
Peace, and wrath in each moment,
Veiled by little more,
Than the ocean spray.
