The Sound of Water

Ocean waves chase seafoam near the beach.

I’m out of breath because I must keep 

My head above 

The surface.

Rain rattles the blue part of the Earth;

Thunder cracks as a streak of light is birthed.

It doesn’t have a pleasant peal

Except 

If I pause

When I hear the Sound

Of the Water. 

The waves are the cymbals clashing 

Together,  

The thunder is singing,

The rain is the ringing to fill in

When thunders gone, to fill in the 

Gaps of liquid song

I can breathe when I go under, I cackle 

With the thunder, 

I play along,

For the Sound of the Water has been my memories

All along.
