The Pride of a Wave

 


********************
Like raging waves, my life moves on,
Toward the darkened shore of death.
Sometimes calm in silent peace,
Sometimes storm with savage breath.
***
Near the shore I lose my roar,
Slowly fading evermore.
As I retreat from mortal sand,
I write farewell with trembling hand.
***
“Never again shall I return,”
My dying waters softly mourn.
Then I vanish into foam,
Like a soul that leaves its home.
****
Once I rose, a drop of light,
From the deep sea’s womb of night.
I saw the moon, the burning sun,
And dreamed my freedom had begun.
***
I fell in love with wandering wind,
Currents carried me within.
Through endless waters I was led,
Toward the shore all beings dread.
***
Seasons clothed me bright with pride,
Beauty crowned my rising tide.
Thus I grew both fierce and vain,
Drunk upon my fleeting reign.
***
Seeking gold with blinded eyes,
I drowned ships beneath the skies.
Islands faded by my hand,
Lost forever in the sand.
***
Near the coral pearls below,
Where pure mermaid spirits glow,
I stained innocence with sin,
Yet never held remorse within.
***
Still I thought no fate or loss
Could ever break my strength across.
Yet while kissing death’s cold shore,
I broke like foam and was no more.
***
Still beyond my dying breath,
Waves keep racing after death.
One must fall for one to rise -
Thus the endless ocean sighs.
