Thought-waves

Thoughts surge in waves unrelenting
Roaring as it crashes
Into the hard rock of my mind
Grey and withered with time

Sometimes I wish I could crumble
And be washed away with the waves
Disappearing into the depths
Carried away into oblivion

To a place so tranquil
As still as the waters in the ocean
Into the depths unseen and unknown
Masked by it’s deceitful surface

Thoughts surge again in my mind
Bringing with it some surprises
Remembrances, memories
Then it recedes as quick as it came

Storm clouds gather warning me of impending rain
That will lash out furious in sweet pain
In torrents accompanied by lightning
And a thunderous deep rumble

Thoughts charge in furiously
Into every crevice, every nook
Leaving me choked, gasping
Then they recede and leave

While I remain

Washed and cleansed…
with every wave
