This poem has been revised as of 11-19-06. The first stanza is new, and in the first line of the second stanza I substituted the words (ebbs and flows) for the word 'moves'. I also simplified the title, changing it from 'The sea moves with a rhythm all its own' to 'The Sea'. If you happen to read this, let me know if you like the changes, or if I should have left it the way it was.
