Gentle waves ambling shoreward

Sunlight gleams on every crest

The flickering army advances steadily

They seem to speed up close to land

Lapping the rocky shore with a hiss

Dissolving into a bubbly white foam

A champagne toast in celibration

Such a beautiful end to a long journey

Their job is done but others follow

Relentless, rhythmic, repetitive, rolling, rippling, rhapsodic, receding
