Waves go up.Up down
Up
Currents flow back.Back forth
Back
Tides are rising.Rising falling Rising
Sets will be coming.Coming leaving Coming
Water is pulling.Pulling pushing Pulling
This is the motion of the ocean changing.
Changing
Changing
Changing.

I was sitting on the beach on the island of Oahu in Hawaii when a few waves caught my eye. Sitting there I had words of repetition pop into my head, I scribbled them down and this is what I wrote.
