Waves

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.
