Waves of Fear

Sea spray crashes against the harbour walls
The wind is rising in anger
Song birds seek out other concert halls
Away from the waves of fear

Clouds gather slowly out along the coast
Making the journey inshore
Covering the land we love the most
Away from the waves of fear

Fishing boats as one make a break for home
Ahead of the angry tempest
Leaving the storm to the waters alone
To face the waves of fear

 The waves have risen to a record height
Fear is instilled in all
Punishing the land with all of it’s might
Using those waves of fear

Homes are secured from the predator outside
Occupants safe within
Destiny lays ruined as storms collide
Double the waves of fear

The violence abates throughout the night
Cautiously greets the dawn
The strewn beach is a colourful  sight
Thanks to the waves of fear
