Seduce the ocean,
take these waves into your arms;
hold them like lovers.

EXCELLENT, Ed. You are so good at
all these different forms of writing...
and a great teacher by example, by the way.

Heart Hugs,

hahaha so that's what it's all about

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Ed...I tried body surfing a few times, it was great until I landed on my belly in the sand and found out the ocean is a mighty thing to embrace.  It sounds lovely in your poem, but give me a boogy board.
