Waves

Three by three in a metronome 
roar
Forming then crashing they 
race to the shore
They begin with a swell then 
peak to a curve
Of white crested wonder as 
shore bound they surge. 

The crest although white like 
the mane of a lion
Forms a beautiful dangerous 
alluring design
Majestic mysterious no two the 
same
They crash with a roar then 
become oh so tame

In a cauldron of sparkling 
bubbling riches
A playground for children not 
three evil witches
No omens or potions or 
foreboding spells
Just pebbles and sea glass  
and varied sea shells.
