Seagulls soar above her surf, 
The sun reflects and gleams, 
While people come from miles around 
To stroll upon her beach. 

 Her touch conveys an icy chill 
Through her stinging, foamy spray, 
While her thunderous waves rush to the shore, 
Then gently roll away. 

Her blue horizon meets the sky, 
The end cannot be seen 
While her salty fragrance fills the air 
And floats upon the breeze. 

 She safely cradles in her arms 
The boats that bounce upon her tides 
And plays coy with all the surfers 
Who beckon for another ride. 

 She can distract us from our worries. 
She can lure and hypnotize. 
With the rhythm of her movement 
And her beauty in our eyes. 

 She’s a force that can’t be reckoned with, 
A power to revere. 
She’s a lovely, sweet seductress 
Who we long to settle near. 

 There are no words that truly tell 
The splendor of her face 
Or recreate that feeling, 
Of such a warm and peaceful place. 

 The ocean is a lovely gift.
She’s God’s great Masterpiece. 
A miracle we can behold 
That gives us reason to believe.
