Ocean's scent, breeze, thrum:
      the pain and relief
      of simply being.

To stand in awe,
familiar and yet unknown:
a painting to cherish.

To know your hero's
choice in wallpaper, glassware,
is sweetly intimate.

Maritime powerhouse,
laid bare and exposed...
   eager to rejoin the chase.

Dark, glistening back
   shrugs off the eternal waves
       with divine patience.
