Ocean Crash

Gigantic waves, violently crashing,
Danger signs, suddenly flashing
Hot sand, sizzling in the sun,
Closed beaches, no fun except one
One dived, disappearing into the monstrous wave,
The body, gasping for air, struggling to the surface, now grave
Those who knew her cried,
Those who saw it lied,
The lifeguard, he tried,
The ambulance, they tried,
And the ocean denied,
The waves denied
