The Sea

The sea is not a snapshot,
It is a change,
A tumbling surf,
Transcending into spaces unknown,
Flowing in cobalt waves
Inch by inch, unyielding.

It churns beyond the sun,
With a shushing hue,
Echoes whisper distance,
Call of its newborn depth—
Harnessing the very tide
Of every creature lost within.
