I Trick or Treated at the Ocean’s Door

I trick-or-treated
at the ocean’s door.
She gave me this,
Then I asked for some more.

Her thunderous waves told me,
“Walk in the sand,”
With every step,
I had more in my hand.

She continued to give
As I strolled along,
Her rhythmic surf
My accompanying song.

The lapping of waves,
The cries from the gull,
I kept picking up treasures
Till my pockets were full.

Grateful for my treats
I thanked my ocean friend,
Scanned the horizon,
then turned back again.

I trick-or-treated
at the ocean’s door.
She gave me so much
I could not ask for more.
