On the Crest of a Wave
When sorrow comes riding on the crest of a wave
It hurts you, converts you
Into someone broken, bruised, brittle and not brave
When passion comes riding on the crest of a wave
It drowns you and crowns you
With a cryptic caress, and a crazed heart that craves
When delight comes riding on the crest of a wave
It thrills you and fills you
With sanguine satisfaction, soul sadness to stave
When fury comes riding on the crest of a wave
It blinds you and finds you
A brazen brochure on how to badly behave
When kindness comes riding on the crest of a wave
It mends you and sends you
On a smooth streetway that steers your self and does save
When terror comes riding on the crest of a wave
It bites you and smites you
With a gruesome greeting that's grievous, gruff and grave
When comfort comes riding on the crest of a wave
It cures you, assures you
Of a freedom from fear and a Friend who forgave
