On the Crest of a Wave

I am riding on the crest of a wave - a gigantic wave that is rushing - with the power of a titan over the surface of a gleaming blue sea. Every day I want to take this ride. I revel in shimmering with the water - the mighty and beautiful water of the sea, but not just on the crest of sea’s waves do I travel. I also can move simultaneously upon the crests of waves of oceans, lakes and rivers. I can mirror them all when I shine down, for I am the almighty sun.

Great poem. Yes, my entry was memories of my grandson birth and six others birthdays and two weeks later my husband death, so, the month of August is not a fun month.
