Waves crash down
waves of intensity
beyond what seems bearable

Feelings and fears
Efforts and tasks
People and strangers

It is too much
it darkens
I shake
and through all this
I crawl through
for now
and wonder what is left

Days pass
I look back and see
what has been passed through
and wonder how

The night passes
the next day comes
I peer out to see
what will come now
what must be endured
what will I endure
what waves are next
