Tidal Waves

One by one they crash the shore

Sweeping all they can out to sea

You see the destruction they leave behind

Forgetting again how to breathe

They range in size and strength

All able to destroy and kill

Flooding our lives with wreckage and pain

Until we end up at a standstill

They can change all that we know

They can leave a mess for years

Time is of the essence my friend

Patience will ease the remaining tears
