Mendocino in Bloom

​The sea licks hungrily
the smooth unyielding thighs of the yearning cliffs
As it jumps and sprays in fusion and defeat
Pebbles in the undertow sigh with pleasure
The yin and yang
Both strength incarnate
Separate forms at cross purposes making union just that more fulfilling
Foam receding in gentle rivulets
unceasing caresses
Who needs men?  I have the sea!
