The sunlight shimmers on the sea. <br />Its light reflects from white wave crests <br />The waves which roll in endlessly <br /> engaged upon their ceaseless quest. <br />Twice every day the tide comes in. <br />Twice every day the tide flows out. <br />It fights a battle it can’t win <br />That is the truth without a doubt. <br />The sea and land each have their place. <br /> Although the boundaries can change <br /> and very often leave no trace. <br /> Except to make the shore look strange <br />Not quite the way it used to be <br /> for it is changing constantly. <br /> <br />14/05/2009 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-new-under-the-sun-2/
