The Waves

I love the sea,
it speaks to me
in waves of froth and foam.

They tell me how
through endless tracts
of rolling time and space
the world was young
and life began
secure in their embrace.

I look and look at them and ask
how many ages more
they’ll foam and spray
and leap and froth
like this upon the shore.
