My wave
I sit alone on the edge
Quite peaceful I must admit
It’s dim, the sun is nearly set
The waves crash one by one
Each wave falls as another rolls in
There I sit, watching the next one, waiting for it to crash
The crash is an ending, but a new beginning
I ponder my wave
After the crash, the water lays still and nears the shore
It rests peacefully, not desiring, not wondering, not existing, just resting
The calmness after the crash is alluring
I ponder my wave
Craving the calm, I scoot closer to the edge
My eyes begin to close
I listen for the after
After a wave crashes, there is silence
A silence so desirable that I almost want the waves to stop crashing
I ponder my wave
I begin to stand
I believe it’s peaceful, the end
I want to feel the after
So then, I approach my crash
