Between The Waves

Between The Waves

They keep coming one right after another

With just enough space in between to recover

For a brief moment it is pure tranquility

I try to collect myself but it’s total debility

Before I can get my feet on the ground

Another one sends me rolling around

Unexpected joy in this ephemeral space

Awaiting another to rise above my face

And while bobbing here out of control

There is a whisper to my yearning soul

Truth comes crashing into my open mind

This epiphany displays our daily grind

At that time another massive one rolls in

Turning me upside down once again

I push toward the surface spitting salty air

And laugh this time instead of despair

Then take in the grandeur of sight & sound

And oh what peace is increasingly found

Between the waves, Between the waves
