I’m as see, I’m as it fluid beauty-I’m ass the tide that ebbs and flows. I’m as the stillness-the calm that falls before a storm... I’m as the moment before it breaks! I’m as the crest that steadily rises I’m as the wind, free and wild-I’m as a spirit flying high! I’m as the breaker that sudden;y remembers the sea that is its home-I’m as its thunder, I’m as its impact on the mocking beach. I’m as the gentle laughing of swirls, I’m as the remnants of the wave... I’m as I was -again-The Sea. _Ethel A.
