WRITING PROMPT 48

The Ocean In All Its Beauty

So vast, deep, and full of stories

she whispered
right into my heart
that beautiful ocean — so vast and blue

she danced
with the dolphins
making them feel joyful and alive

she rose up
lifting the surfer high up
creating such lyrical movement

she glanced
at me, yes me
waving her frothy white arms at me

she roared
that one day
so unexpectedly

it doesn’t matter
what she does
she is always beautiful, wise, and vast

and, I am always in awe as I stare directly into her heart.

I have always been in love with water, in all shapes and sizes, but when I lived in Southern California, I became awe-struck with the Pacific Ocean. I would spend hours just staring at the vastness, knowing that God created this ocean so deep and wide.
