Kristi Lynn Wagner

Ocean

Beautiful in every aspect.  Defiant if you don’t respect it.  Majestic to the view.  Underneath stronger than you knew.

It’s waters free and unencumbered.  But welcomed those that deserved.  Makes waves often without haste.  To keep out those who are a waste.

It definitely has a bit of a temper. But something you will remember. It moves unapologetically With a spirit that is free.

It’s beauty doesn’t just lie on the surf. It goes to the center of the earth. Those that make it to the depths. Really know how special it gets.

A presence like that so profound. You just can’t always be around. When you can’t see it don’t despair. Feel comfort in that it’s always there.
