The children ran to see the waves
word got round the neighborhood
each wave was bigger than the last
tiny silver fish delivered onto the sand
the children skipped holding hands
some ran stumbling to the white beach
their shouts and laughter ringing out
a few brave ones followed the wave as it pulled away
puzzled they stood transfixed
where did all the water go they murmured
a swell was riding over the receding ocean
it rose into the sunny air
the children clapped and cheered
the aqua liquid lifted
looking like the boogie man
a few screamed as they pivoted in the sand
many ran faster than light
their spirits flying into the sky over the wave
screams ceased as heads bobbed
the jewels in the crown of a generation
glittering and sinking into the emerald seaI rest my feet in the calm ocean
I am lifetimes away from this watery grave
saline tears gliding down
my aching eyes
hearts are heavy all over the worldJai Narayan

Sorry I didn't post that, I'd forgotten because I just mentioned it to someone, and didn't actually say anything on the board.
