The waves rise up
strike the banks atop
with a force unknown.
The waves bow down
retreat with not a frown
with a force unknown.
They go forward and backward
almost not towards
with a force unknown.
They do not lie dormant
even for a moment
being a force unknown.
Once they flow with an ease
one of a resigned please
being a force unknown.
Else they flow with a tense
one of great violence
being a force unknown.
That be their nature known
unpredictable in tone
being a force unknown.
Waves do symbolically refer life
with fortunes and mishaps in strife
being one of unknown,
