A hiss, a sizzle, over the sand – v4 #susurration

A hiss, a sizzle over the sand,
like hot oil crackling on a grill,
each wave breathing a whisper,
a touching of the sea upon the land,
a promise in the conversation,
at the end a susurration …
 
Hands of the ocean, the sea’s fingers,
caressing the shoreline, the liquid sand,
water stirring, approaching, turning, repeating,
ancient lovers in the dance of the tides,
answering the moon’s urgent cry…
 
A hiss, a sizzle over the sand,
like hot oil crackling on a grill,
each wave breathing a whisper,
a touching of the sea upon the land,
a promise in the conversation,
at the end a susurration …
