Tidal Waves
Barefoot in the sand
I watch her run
Through the soft waves
Of a black night
Her radiant eyes
Lighting up the entire shore
Or maybe it's the stars
Shining down on her
While I watch her
Laughing
Running
Jumping
Splashing
She smiles
Though I cannot
She is fearless
While I tremble
No cares
To distract her joy
She runs to me
Hugs my waist
I smooth down
Her silky hair
That blows in
The western winds
Of childhood
Oblivious of the
Dark and heavy
Storm
That will one day
Rock the beach
On which we stand
I prepare her
For life
As I know it will
Rush upon her like
A tidal wave
I watch her run
Through the soft waves
Of a black night
Her radiant eyes
Lighting up the entire shore
Or maybe it's the stars
Shining down on her
While I watch her
Laughing
Running
Jumping
Splashing
She smiles
Though I cannot
She is fearless
While I tremble
No cares
To distract her joy
She runs to me
Hugs my waist
I smooth down
Her silky hair
That blows in
The western winds
Of childhood
Oblivious of the
Dark and heavy
Storm
That will one day
Rock the beach
On which we stand
I prepare her
For life
As I know it will
Rush upon her like
A tidal wave
