The wind breathes life into me.
The sea nourishes my growth.
Sandy shores break my spirit.
The tide carries me back home.

smiles….so much magic in those waves… very cool how they grow and fall and break…love the being carried home..
Ahh beautiful waves … reminds me of a famous kenning wave steed for ship.
wave on….smiles…tight little verse…
fun way to unveil it in the title as well…
i like their rhythm…
jellyfish ?
Tight’n’lovely.
Anna :o]
lovely – the title carries the answer, while not quite giving it away
nice VB !
Very intriguing and beautifully expressed ~ I was thinking of boat or ship ~
Waves, child of the sea. I thought also of sails and ships. This is very well done!
I see/feel waves! Nicely done.
Very sensual, from the wave’s own point of view!
A lovely depiction of the surf. Enjoyed this one!
Very nice, the changing tides!
Love the sea…and how it makes us go back to the very beginnings of time..nice.
Nature always wins, due to ebb and flow,
[not to mention the moon]
Something to do with the waves at the seashore! Nicely VB!

Sea Turtle?
OK. Upon a second read, and looking at the title it is “Waves” Nice.
So cool! You buried the hint in the title! And so perfect, four simple lines with a beautifully parallel construct, such a little gem of a riddle-as-poem.
VB, compact and powerful, and yet also lyrical. So well penned ~
