Who knew the waves could be so cruel?


Who knew the waves could be so cruel?

I want to understand

Why are the rocks forced to become 

layers of fragile sand?

They crash, they charge, the World was Ours,

Water scatters like it fears

The formations begin to accept the truth 

Releasing their many tears

Who knew the waves could be so cruel?

They destroy yet they create

The rocks they shiver, firmer still

meeting their sudden fate
