Valsa George - On the Ocean Strand

I stand on the wet sand
Of the vast ocean strand
Before me the waters roar
Like a charging wild boar

It is springing closer
As a cheetah after a deer
Sure it will subdue me
This hungry predator called the sea

But what wonder, it lay prostrate
Humbly kissing my feet
With awe my whole being filled
And in my eyes tears welled

They ran down before I could restrain
Mingling with the mighty ocean
Thus it moves carrying a speck of me
In its stirring bosom till the end of time

Lo, how I am now in motion
As part of the mighty ocean!

Valsa George
