A ocean's lullaby

The ocean caresses the shore,

Lapping up the sand,

With her reaching tendrils,

Smoothing out insecurities.

Peaceful current pulling in the old, 

And pushing back the new,

Breaking shells apart over the days,

Eroding the desolate homes.

Destructive in the way she crashes down,

Upon a ship,

Heaving herself aboard,

Claiming the vessel as her own.

Beauty in it's strongest form,

Calm erraticism,

You let her composure fool you,

She tore you down.

I live beside the sea and know the power off it. I like the imagery in this poem good job. :)

I live near the ocean too, and I see it a lot, so I figured this would be a good thing to write. Thank you! c:
