Round
Uproarious frothy-white combers,
Undulating from the deep-blue hue at horizon's border,
Through that mystical turquoise mid-distance,
Toward the tawny shore, metamorphosing into aquamarine —
A vast gathering of voices performing just for us.
Standing, off-balance, in the sinking saturated sand,
Holding hands, embracing, kissing, listening, listening,
We sense that the song the sea keeps repeating
Is a canon as old as its chorus's primordial source.
Before we know it, we've joined the ocean's resounding round.
