is a feral roaring

cascade of movement 

in a waterfall night

foaming crests climbing

higher and higher

then thrusting

forward in a frenzy

on unclaimed land

as a surging mountain

of sand and pebbles

ping and crush upon

a shoreline that shrinks

each rise of natural tide.

You've captured everything about the ocean in this poem Richard.

Beautifully done and well deserved of the cherries.
