TIDES

by Elena Rodriguez

The ocean whispers secrets old,

As tides advance, then tides unfold.

A rhythmic dance, a constant sway,

Where moonbeams kiss the salty spray.

The sandy shores, a canvas wide,

Where shells and dreams forever hide.

The seagull's cry, a mournful sound,

As waves crash in, then softly bound.

Oh, tides of life, both ebb and flow,

A constant change, a steady show.

Reflecting skies, both gray and blue,

The ocean's heart, forever true.
