The sound of the ocean

Stills my mind

It’s roar through a storm

Gentle water lapping in the moonlight

Its force and majesty

Truly holds me in awe

To be so strong

With not thought of others

Nature is forever teaching

Beauty and compassion

Treacherous and forceful

Gentle and warm

Take heed and learn

Share this learning with others

So that we might all

Live together in harmony
