THE WAVE
Once upon a time I heard a wave that was saying:
AT FIRST IT IS A SHIVER OUT OF STILLNESS
A COMPELLING DESIRE TO MOVE
WAKING UP TO THE EXCITEMENT OF SSPEEED
SHAKING RISING HIGH TO THE SKY
MORE...MORE...
I CAN SEE THE WORLD NOW!
THEN I CURL,
A FEW DROPS RIPPLE...plum...plum
& I CRASH IN RRROARING FOAM.... ttrrrrruuuu....
TAKING ALL ON THE WAY
AM I THAT STRONG?
I PUSH TO THE SHORE...
A LITTLE MORE...MORE...
WHERE OTHERS CAN NOT GO!
I WANT TO TOUCH YOU DRY!!!
ONLY TO RETRIEVE
BLEND WITH THE INCOMING WAVES
& GO BACK TO DEEP OCEAN
