Waves Poem
Ocean's Whispers: Embracing Fear, Wearing the Crown
Lyrics
waves come in
Introduction to the recurring theme of waves
with tact to drown out every other thing
Waves have a purposeful quality, drowning out distractions
and gather around my rock
Waves surround a symbolic rock, a place of fear
a place I've found in fear
The rock represents a refuge found in fear
I wear the crown up here
The speaker, atop the rock, wears a metaphorical crown
and waves come in
Reiteration of waves coming in, a continued presence
waves arrive
Introduction of a new phase of the waves
and settle on the coast that they were destined for
Waves arrive and find their destined coast
rest upon the beach a fort
They rest, creating a fortification on the beach
against a rock that stood the test of time
A rock stands resilient against the test of time
waves arrive, arrive
Repetition of waves arriving, emphasizing their presence
waves can sing a voice is carried just above the ocean floor
Waves can carry a voice just above the ocean floor
even little ones that break upon the open shore
Even small waves convey a message on the open shore
waves can sing
Reiteration that waves have a singing quality
they tell me things I can't ignore
Waves communicate things that demand attention
i've heard them in my dreams before
Previous encounters with meaningful messages in dreams
waves can sing
Reiteration of waves having a singing capability
waves retire and edge back towards the long blue line again
Waves retire, moving back towards the vast ocean
freeing up the sand that first had let me in
They release the sand that initially granted access
and i see that they're loyal to the sea
Observation of waves' loyalty to the sea, not to the speaker
they're not loyal to me
Clarification that waves are loyal to their natural element
they're loyal
Emphasis on the loyalty of waves
waves retire
Reiteration of waves retiring, completing the cycle
