So a new swell is headed our way

but first we wait

the storm that spawned these wave is already gone

the storms energy is in transit

no deposit no return

sort of like light from some distant start that died out 

a millennia ago 

it's light still headed our way

so we sit and ride the waves of our breath

up the incoming tide of the inhale

a pause at the top

out the outgoing tide of the exhale

waiting for the next swell
