NON-STOP OCEAN

 

The ocean is non-stop –
constant – sliding into
and onto our beach.
 
Sometimes the waves
are pounding, pushing,
jumping, leaping at us.
 
Sometimes all is calm:
the slow slide of waves –
calming moving in and out.
 
The ocean – does it ever
get a chance to say to God,
“Is this the way you want it?”
 
Or does God say, “Just do it.
Surprise all of us. Whatever,
but make it all interesting.”
