"Nature is Life"
Sweet tempered waves playfully chase each other to shore,
leaving behind the winner's ribbon of foam.
Nervous ghost crabs scuttle and scurry from hole to hole, hardly noticed.
Greedy seagulls crisscross the azure blue sky,
considering the menu beneath the surface.
Nature is motion.
Billowy puffs of white and grey silently drift far above painting shadows
over lazy palms and abandoned seashells.
The sun caresses the sleepy sand with its satiny golden beams.
Wispy sea oats gently sway in the serene breeze,
whispering their secrets to the slumbering sand dunes.
Nature is idle.
The loving sun bedazzles the ocean's surface with diamonds.
the gentle starfish tiptoes along the sandy ocean bottom
beneath a flowing sheet of undulating soft pink jellyfish.
Grand old sea turtles casually slide across the sand,
returning to the ocean after settling their eggs in protective sandy burrows.
Nature is gentle.
Far off shore, monstrous waves relentlessly march towards the coast,
preparing to crash onto the unprotected beach.
Ferocious winds gather force
driving the waves into a frenzy
And forcing palms to bow in submission.
Bolts of lightning strike the ground
and light up the dark sky revealing the swirling oppressive clouds.
Nature is mighty.
Sun rays peek around the edges
of the retreating clouds.
Seagulls return to ride on the breeze.
Palm trees and sea oats lift their heads
to smile at the warmth of the sun.
Ghost crabs brave the open beach to feast on the buffet blown
in by the storm.
