Waves of heat,
frigid days then
shocking warmth.
Ancient rising and falling.
Struggling to stay above water
then catapulted to the crest
only to be obliterated
by the falling cascade
sucking us downward.
As our population crests
earthlings are on a wild ride.
Calmer seas on the horizon.
Our endurance must increase
through the darkness
through excruciating pain
tossed about into
the battle within
so we can live
to see the future.
