How like water

washing across my beach

smashing

in a slow motion

moment of power

against my rocks

the spray cascading back down

to drain in streaming rivulets

rushing for another roar

that which soaks in

is drawing back out

arching for another pass

 

What starts as rain

is now like dynamite 

in the brain

little trickles

to ponderous crashes

delight my mind

and ears crave for more

Bring me close to you

wash again upon my shore

 

How like water

washing across my beach 

smashing

smashing
