The wave rolls and rolls and rolls
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Foamy leading edge
Losing momentum
Energy fading
It hangs
Still
Just
A moment
Then fades
Receding again
Gaining momentum
Leaving in its path a
Shining patina on sand
Awaiting the incoming wave
Already bound for the tide line
