The Waves
by Patrick B. Odenbeck

Water flowing waves
The quick thunder they produce from collision
The gloomy ripples on the horizon
Slowly surge emerging from the void
Gradually finding smiles at shoreline
Their constant rhythm is changing
Mutating
Metamorphosising
Shifting
Into something new
A last scream...or giggle before annihilation
In a shower
The violent spectacle displays the mist
A remnant of a gentle creature gone
Their roads are short dead ends
Rolling into death find a...
Peace
The sine curve pattern...
Destroyed
Creating silent suicides of laughter
They are free from their conformity

Reflections can be sent to Patrick B. Odenbeck.
