Untitled

I feel the depths stir
The surge as the deep shifts
Others notice only the tremor
They don't feel the mass
They don't understand
Gaining speed
There is no wake
No surface sign
Only a few know
Only a few prepare
There is no wind
No driving force
It is a reaction
Building upon itself
Silent to the deaf
Thundering to those who listen
There is a rythm
There is a purpose
A natural order
What will be left
After the wave passes.



I leave this untitled as I am not sure what this is about. On the surface it feels like a description of one of the Tsunami events as I recall watching videos of people standing on the beach watching the first wave approach. They do not realize what is happening while only a few run inland to escape it.


That is not it though. It is more basic than that, more powerful and yet more elusive at the same time. I am doing some reading on the 2012 "event" and other possibly related topics, so perhaps I am just getting a vibe from some of what I read.


On the wording, the tsunami waves recede, they do not pass...for some reason that is important. I tried using the word recedes instead and it does not sit right. Passes means something else entirely, almost non-physical but still with such mass as it cannot be stopped. Perhaps it will come to me, perhaps it is like the storm, to be harnessed and accepted rather that withstood and weathered.
