Ocean waves will never end.

Step right in, cool water-waves will wash you down.
Start out small, the waves lap your feet.
In to the ankles, you're getting wet.
Knee deep now, your toes start to sink.
The waves at your chest, getting higher and higher.
You're caught in the jet stream, you can not get out.
Thrashing and screaming: You and the waves.
Waves over your head, all around you, all around everything.
Nothing matters but you and the waves.
Flooding, burning, stabbing into you.
You. Waves.
Furiously foaming at it's mouth - the ocean dies.
Waves smooth, froth clears.
Abandoned, bobbing up, stay still.
The ocean is calm before another comes.

Ocean waves will never end.
