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
