eternal attachment

I intently watch  ocean waves
roll in and break on the rocks
and in a splash become white surf.

I wonder
if there is joy or sorrow in them
or perhaps both.
They intermingle, do they belong to each other
or to the vast deep.

They come from all directions
roar together and go away to nowhere
in their frenzied fervour
lose their entity and become one.


They are there one moment
and not there the next
do they love each other or the vast deep ?
What a display of staying detached
in eternal attachment !
