Sea Grass

Leaching, seeping, the sea grass is relentless,

It’s sound ricochets along the rocks and boulders

It’s nutrients formed from the sediment and periwinkles

Carnivorous, no, but it conquers the eye

Capturing, not immediately, but through subtle messages

The silent giant, boisterous, yet oysterless

The boulders, rocks, and other hard bodies rely on brawn alone

But not you, seagrass. Your actions are decisive, never simple.
