The beach of summer so hot and wonderful

Splashing in the ocean waves

The waves whisper to me, calling me to the soft sand,

The water sweeps over my feet surrounds where I stand.

The waves trickle along my toes,

The soft ocean sprays across my nose.

Then, the silence grew,

No wind flew.

A roar boasted all my ties,

And I saw a mighty wave rise.

There came a wave like a great hand,

Grabbing everything on the land.

When the punch came with the force of an army,

The few that survived understood the meaning of ‘Tsunami’.
