Wave Life

As the waves crash
The harsh feelings smash
Fresh water and the taste of smell
Blows in your nose
Shining sun reflecting
The waves are bright
Glistening water waves
There is no fresh water without waves
At times we (waves) look dark and roar loud
We waves are not flesh-eaters
We surround the shore
We are waves that is for sure
Waves don’t want to be in a rip
It’s hard to catch me alive
But you can’t get a wave by a wave
