Beach Draft 4 - Insidious Battle

Stand firm on solid sand
feet away from the waves crashing.
Where will the next break land?

I brace myself with outstretched hand,
using air against the water’s lashing.
Stand firm on solid sand.

I keep my balance against the unplanned
attack, eyes wide with fear, legs thrashing,
Where will the next break land? 

The sea raises it’s grand
arm of power, testing
my stand on solid sand.

Erosion strikes the land
beneath me feet, I’m watching,
where will the next break land?

The coast is manned
by lifeguards watching
where the next break will land,
while standing firm on solid sand.
