Ocean

There came a wave like a great hand,
Grabbing everything on the land.
A hand full of water, crashing onto the shore,
And going back to the ocean.

Coming back and crashing onto the rocks,
Making everyone wet.
Children swimming in the pool having fun.
The hand was born in the belly of the ocean.

Coming over and over again destroying sand castles,
People surfing on waves trying to focus.
People resting, eating and relaxing,
Sea creatures laying at the end of the ocean.

There came the last wave, people hoping that it won't do any harm.
Now it's going back, back into the ocean.
