O Mighty Sea,
How relentless
is your offering of beauty to us,
how unceasingly
you wash it upon our feet.
So humble an act.
For though serenity and tumult
parade upon your surface,
your full depth is never disclosed,
your full strength is never exerted,
your capacity to sustain or destroy,
never fully revealed.
How humbly you greet us indeed.
So much so,
that every man's compulsion
is to stand upon your shores
and contend with you.

beautiful, I love this.
Thanks Han. It means a lot coming from someone who knows much more about poetry than I do.
Wow, that's excellent!
