Waves

Deep inside the silent ocean

Hides the most powerful of waves

On a calm day, when I walk on wet sands

Its frothy white frills

Tickle my toes

Sending warm shivers up my spine

The waves become bolder

And come crashing

Washing away the sands

Under my unsuspecting feet

Throwing me off balance, mildly

But on an unexpected serene Sunday

When I feel relaxed and in control

Fresh tsunami waves

Of grief

Hit me with a vengeance

Without a warning

Sweeping me off my feet

Flooding me

With an unfathomable sense of loss

An unending void
