Mammoth waves rise tall.
Gusty winds that can’t resist,
Brave souls thrill through it all.

Salt and spray, sharp and cold.

Yet hearts remain bold.

Thrashing waters, a mighty game.

In the face of nature’s roar.
Though the storm is strong and near,
Their spirits soar, they adore.

Carving paths, where secrets hide.
Water’s dance, from mountain’s crown,
To valleys deep, it cascades down.

Leaves rustle, at water’s call.

Into pools, of lore galore.

Stones smoothed, by time’s embrace,
Water's touch, leaves its trace.

Under the light, of a silvery moon.

Carry life, to open sea.
In every bend, and waterfall,
Rivers write, the world's tale, tall.
