Symphonic Waters

Harmonic waves of water wash ashore
They churn in and out like a repeating dream
The ripples encircle the blue
And a foot steps in for a journey

Wherever one goes, the influence of the water follows
Un-willing, un-wanting to be separate from the form
Each drop bringing a story behind, each splash soaring new heights
The tides of evil wash away, cleansed by the free

Whistling along the coast it comes
It takes what it wants and it shows no mercy
And yet
It's one of the most beautiful things in the world
So soothing, so melodic
The bounty of the ocean is an infinite journey
It's a never-ending symphony
