The Ocean's Roar

The ocean roars, with mighty sound,
Against the cliffs, it breaks and leaps,
Where hidden depths and wonders bound,
And ancient, salty secret keeps.
Its waves crash on the sandy shore,
A ceaseless rhythm, wild and free,
And nature's power, evermore,
Is witnessed in the boundless sea.
