Waltz of the Wandering Waves

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Upon the sprawling ocean's grace, a rhythmic dance aligns,
Where waves caress the sandy shore with tender, fleeting signs.
A symphony of ebbs and flows, a ceaseless, wandering waltz,
Enchanting every grain of sand, in nature’s gentle jolts.

A whisper of the ancient tides, that’s heard across the ages,
In every gentle lap and crash, a timeless tale engages.
The moon above, a distant guide, orchestrating the dance,
As waves converse with distant shores, in a perpetual, liquid prance.

Majestic creatures of the depths, weave through the ocean’s song,
Navigating watery realms, where mystic tales belong.
Beneath the surface’s lustrous glow, hidden worlds reside,
A universe of secrets, in the ocean's boundless tide.

The sun descends into the sea, with a soft and glowing kiss,
Illuminating horizons, in a tranquil, fiery bliss.
The melody of the ocean’s heart, beats with timeless might,
Connecting every shore on earth, in an endless, aqueous flight.

May we find a gentle echo, in the waltz that never sways,
A reminder of stability, amidst life's turbulent bays.
For as the ocean kisses shores, with a calm and steady grace,
We, too, shall navigate our storms, and in challenges, find our place.
