The Waves Sang Your Praise – v2


A sweet fragrance
rising, falling
a rousing chorus
the waves sang your praise
crashing on the rocks
just after the turn of the tides
coming in once more
the foretaste of high tide
hours from this moment
but coming to be sure
as sure as the tides

The waves sang your praise
over and over,
each wave on its crashing
the wind joined in the chorus
bringing with it
a hint of the deep
earthy, richer;
the warming stones,
new wet from the breakers
a blending of the scents
below the cliff, at the water’s edge
