Rippled by rolling heart-waves,
inexorably advancing -
constantly,
consistently -
towards our Us.
This resurgence,
pounding our shifting shores,
destroying sandy barriers...
A rapid relentless tide,
washing,
wiping
our beaches clean
to start anew...
Far too strong and
absolutely,
positively,
undeniably
irresistible.
