The tide rises, the tide falls <br />The foam spreads, the footprint palls <br /> <br />The sun adorns and the waves glitter <br />In the sapphire sky, the sandpipers flutter <br /> <br />Billowing its wings the seagull hovers <br />The curfew calls and the darkness showers <br /> <br />The moon spreads gossamer swathes <br />In the milky glow, the ocean bathes <br /> <br />The fishers return from the day's slogs <br />Deprived of rest the ocean flogs <br /> <br />Splashing and splattering water on rock <br />A halcyon milieu, a peaceful walk <br /> <br />A melody floats, as the sea pings <br />my silent thought magically sings <br /> <br />And the tide rises, and the tide falls <br />The foam spreads slowly and my footprint palls<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-seashore/
