Seafoam on the beach
left behind
by a
rearing, rampaging
wave
that thursts with such power
spreading richness
gently kissing the sand
then retreating
like a lover on a first date.
What is it about the ocean
that can be harsh,
yet healing,
repetitive with rapture
soothing
the senses
touching
one’s soul.
Betty Ross, May 2011
