Waves
Aug 10, 2021
Today they seem angry
Yesterday when I looked out
It seemed as if it could be a lake
Except for the crashing near the shore
Today they foam at the mouth
Leaving bubbly traces in the sand
Scars of receding fights
Today one surges after another
Roaring constantly
Without pause
Today as I stand at their feet
In an apparent safe distance
I am mauled to the ground
Today they soak me when I didn’t intend to
Their fierceness couldn’t be kept at bay
The harsh cold piercing into my bones
Yes, today they are angry
