Enigma

Special February Prompt in honor of Valentine's Day.
Please mention "a lost love" somewhere in your short story or poem.

Waves.
The word itself brings to
mind the continual sensual
motion of the sea
as it rolls ceaselessly to the shore.
These breakers bring
so much joy to my heart….

The constant shifting of the ocean
with foaming swells kissing
the sand as it rushes to greet
a lost love. What a sight it is!
Peaceful and enduring;
a calming presence.
Oh, to be lulled to sleep
by this eternal surging!

An enigma enveloped
in a puzzle shrouded by mystery.
It sometimes rages,
crashing on the sand.
Fluctuating, swaying
and inviting, it beckons
softly to all of us on land.

Evermore a source
of sheer amazement, I will
always be drawn to its fluidity.
