An Original Obsession

Undercurrents

ensure the power of waves

by scouring beneath

for anything

which may impede

Northumberland Strait’s drive

and bouncing crests

are banners of victory that

ventured from afar

within the goals of tidal

movement

creating roly-poly rolls

in a series of mighty tumbles

before rising

to a shallow pebbled-shore.

Crests as foamy eyes

from silhouettes of power

now drained of might

in a vast journey.

Mercie, Jenny. Looking at the sea for so many years allows one to appreciate it. N-Strait is between NB and NS. Bless you. -Richard

I love the idea of the tide being an obsession, and white wave crests being banners of a incoming force

" a series of mighty tumbles

before rising" this really has the momentum of waves, almost feel seasick reading :0) and "a vast journey" is brilliant, evoking the hugeness of the sea.
