I stood there on the beach on cool crisp morning
I stood there in udder silence as I watched the waves crash against the shore
standing alone as the breeze hit my face
I was once told by an elderly women that people are like waves
they come and go she said
what she said hit me
I stood in silence watching the waves come and go
standing alone in silence
listening to the waves crash against the shore
they were getting louder and then quite again
coming and going
as I sat there with this pain in my chest
thinking as my thoughts got louder like the waves
louder and louder
stronger they became just like the waves
people are just like waves they come and go just like waves
