The Ocean

The ocean, its soft surface glints in sunlight
as the stars shine in the night sky
whipping waves grip the sand
tightly in its smooth slippery hands.
The ocean is a home, its familiar touch
the harsh crash as the waves hit the sand.
washing over my feet, the smell of salt
lingers in front of me long after I’m home.
