WATER

Calm, soft
As the waves roll over
And crash on the sand
Swoosh! Crash!
Swoosh! Crash!
A boat sits out on the water,
So still.
It sits silently
As the waves crawl underneath it
Wwwrrrraaaawww!
A seagull flies overhead
As the storm approaches
Splosh, splosh, splosh,
The rain buckets down
And the waves get bigger.
The boat rocks around,
But still remains.
As the storm goes on
The boat keeps rocking.
Suddenly the rain stops
And the clouds disappear,
The waves get smaller
The boat sits out on the water
So silent
So still
As the waves roll over
And crash on the sand
Calm, soft.
