Along the shoreline, waves appear with a mint green hue
as they crash into the rocks and create a mist-like dew;
the friction of crash causes a milky froth
in an alcove that's covered with periwinkles and moss;
and the tide continues to roll in and kisses
all that in its path and misses;
the depth of the ocean is so deep and dark
and riding the perilous breakers is a lone lark;
determined to pass through safe and sound
to reunite with its partner who was swept abound;
Alas, a patch of blue sky is breaking through ,
and from the dark clouds a ray of sunshine grew;
as peace and tranquility replaces the manic
Until the next storm that embraces Oceanic. . .
