The ocean submits
To the power of the wind
Man is swept away
By the power of the flesh
And lure of material wealth.

Ah, what a beautiful coincidence! I said something in response to your next poem on ocean, and here it is. You say the same thing in your own inimitable style. Lovely.
Wind is the mind. Ocean waves desires. Insightful metaphoric piece 10+
