Its Walls

I can see the tidal wave about to fall
I shutter at the thought of meeting it's walls
As it curled above I found time for a prayer
Then it bore down on me with a heavy despair

I am tossed in the waves, lost in my mind
I was just standing in its way this entire time

Fling your debris from it’s familiar post
Turn the sprawling cities into a new coast
You were the wave
Not the taking away
