waves

at night
i've worried about waves
that crashed long in the past

 
was terrified of drowning in them
(as if they're coming back)

 
that awful frenzy of the ocean
would not let me be

 
how life's uncertain chaos
since all life comes from the sea

 
i built a dam
the whole shore wide
to keep the waves at bay

 
the waves still crash
but shore's dried up;
the birds all went away

 
all that remains is sand and shells
-- a desert of my own

 
and now i'd rather brave the sea
than live this life alone
