The Waves

- Amani Niros Khan

It was dark all around,

As far as her eyes could see,

Nothing; she could see,

Except the darkness and the rising waves,

She sat alone in the dark watching the rising waves,

Rose! Rose! Rose! The waves,

High and high it rose,

The waves forming a mixture of black and white,

And giving the colour grey,

The sound was horrible,

Growling, rumbling, roaring,

The sound grew louder and louder,

The waves rose higher and higher,

To the point it couldn’t rise anymore,

To the point it cannot be loud anymore,

Fall! The waves fell and didn’t shout anymore,

Sudden silence,

Sudden silence, and she feared it the most!
