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
