Sea and shore

 Alone on shore,
 waves are no crashing bore
 Their height and force excite me,
 if I enter may even smite me
 Far out, I wonder what lies beneath
 and just how many teeth
 
 Brothers are we,
 bucket and spade in hand
 making big castles out of sand
 Quick quick beat the sea beat the sea
 Towers, one, two, three,
 Final flurry a moat
 that will float my boat
 
 Waves wash clean the past
 Collecting razors and whelks along shore,
 tomorrow there may be no more
 Each day a new world of discovery to loot
 may even find Uncle Arthur’s boot

I peer into rock pool
Quick quick I see it, watch it go
a crab, a scuttling , where’d it go ?, where’d it go ?
What was that I see dart from corner of my eye ?
A fish, a prize and no small fry

Humpback whale breaches ocean,
majestic in somersault motion
Fair distance away watchers on boats abound

cameras clicking, waiting for mighty splash of sound

Whenever I am down
I summon whale breaking free
and smile and marvel at this world's mystery

Gambolling on sand,look deep into windswept face, 

splash her, she gives chase ... 

The sea whispers,
I am here now
I have been here before
I will be here for ever more
