Rolling Waves (Rachelgv; March 30, 2017)
Put your ear where you can hear
the gently rolling tide
rolling tide
in and out
in and out
side by side
side by side
You’ll hear it when its calling
from that shell
from inside
from the swell
that arises
when the tide blinds my eyes
Listen to the sound
of rocking hands as they sway
to and fro
to and fro
as they go
as they go
Look upon the ground
see on the sand
on the sand
what the sea
left on land
lovely shells
for your hand
many beautiful choices
will awash on the beach
swept to shore
at your feet
and one more
also sweet
Grab it while the crest
will bring it close
to your reach
for someone else
to select
from the heap
of the rest
when no more
the sound you hear
comes from the whelk
to your ear
and driftwood rides
out to sea
on the tides
that were me
