-The Break Of The Wave-

The crescendo of waves
crash like rolling thunder
under sun-soaked skies.

Every wet drop
in the salty sea
has a chance to be
part of a beautiful breaking wave,
one moment of fame.
The ocean's tide rises
until gravity's command
causes the wave to break,
to curl and collapse.
Lapping the sand
with cool licks
to ease the heat.
Endless wave upon wave
proclaim the peace treaty
between land and sea.
Carry on tidal boundary,
continue on and on
keeping the peace.

And the crescendo of waves
keep crashing like rolling thunder
under sun-soaked skies.

Wrote this a couple months ago while visiting the beach. I was just pondering the relationship that the land and sea share.
