New to the vastness of the sea, trembling as the waves creep up incessantly
I see her there, splashing in the ocean surf, daring to stretch further into the water Remembering my first dip from the sand to enter the water’s edge
I too, was afraid, realizing the power of the waves
Relentless, clamouring to swallow up more of the quiescent sand
Ever moving inward as orchestrated tides pursue dry land.
She runs out, looks around and then dashes back into the sea.

You took me straight back to childhood and the excitement/fear generated by encountering waves at the beach – very evocative images…
