JoJo Bean - Crash of Waves

It started as just the lapping of water at shores edge
A constant that one could ignore
Just a brief touch then only to recede again
The water teases, leaves you wanting more

Then the swells pickup in intensity
Could it be rough seas on the horizon?
Is it a ride one wants to take?
A chance to experience head-on

The urge to feel consumes the body
The waves now ancient floodgates
Releasing all, in one big crashing burst
A rush of cool water satiates
