as the ocean pushes and pulls

and the waves crash into the shore
and the fires engulf the air
smoke and shadows grab hold

the waves crash into the shore
and the earth quakes and trembles
it echoes cries
and drowns tears

the waves crash into the shore
onto the bodies of the unprepared
into the souls of the damned

the waves crash into the shore
as the ocean pushes and pulls

the ocean calls

the ocean beckons

the ocean takes

the ocean pulls


we all can do nothing
but let the ocean
go its course

the ocean pushes

the ocean pulls

and there is nothing much we can do
