I stand at the seashore,
as my feet sink in the sand,
being tickled by the lapping water;
I stand in wonderment,
How can one thing be everything and nothing?
I breathe in the salty air,
which announces the sea’s presence from far away;
and I wonder, how can one thing be both, salty and refreshing?
I gaze at the stillness beyond the waves,
and as a I remember the tales of mermaids,
I wonder how one thing can be so still and yet be filled with life?
As the waves play with my feet,
I look across at all the rocks, which have been marked by the sea;
I wonder how one thing can be both endearing and scary?
I stand at the sea shore,
as my feet sink in the sand,
being tickled by the lapping water;
I close my eyes
and feel the wind pass me by,
at once, ferocious and playful;
and feel the sound of the sea
resonate with my being.
Engulfed in the wonderment,
I feel the stillness of time amongst all the motion;
I realize that even time stops
to pay homage to the sea,
The Sea, which is everything and nothing.
