Seeing Harmony

by A.J. Huffman 

Waves waver between blue and green,

roll into amalgamation of aqua, marine

life glinting before moments of eruptive

crash.  Foam trickles into tentacles

of welcome, recoils with retrieved bits,

shells and crabs.  Seaweed takes

a breather, stretches across tanning sand

with no worries.  Reclamation is inevitable.

The soothing cycle of sun and moon ensure

consumptive risings, echoing retreats.
