One doesn’t find it impossible:
An ear held to the waves,
If kept still for long enough,
If held strong against the current
That breaks and rebuilds,
ceaselessly, angrily,
Can hear the ringing,
Far into the deep waters,
As far and dark as a coastal shelf,
Between which all manner of life
bellows and drowns.

Like the dark imagery!

Beautifully expressed.
