The waves are meant to come

The waves are meant to come.
We are meant to tumble under them,
so we’ll learn to stand up again.

We are meant to dive into them,
so we’ll learn how to come out.
 
The waves are meant to come.
I stand on the beach looking for them,
waiting for them.
I step into the water and swim,
allowing the vast ocean of life
to wrap me all around.
 
The waves are meant to come.
I swim, and keep an open eye
to see whenever they are near.
Come, I defy them,
I’m ready.
