Before they go

Catch the waves
Before they go
Catch the waves
Gentle, quiet.

Catch them quick
Dabble, ripple in them
And set asail –
On your journey afresh

Before they rage
In mountainous forms
Of dark fury
And fiery froths –

Before they rock the
Ship asunder –
Devouring, consuming
In their haunting forms –

Shattering great castles
Of dreaming sands –
Crashing the Titanic
Into those calm, fallen dreams –

Go catch the waves
Gentle, quiet
Catch them, now
Before they go.
