Standing on the shore, something is coming.

A wave so powerful, it could destroy anything in its path.

Family members gone, relationships ruined like breaking glass.

***

so some, the wave is not as big or as dark

To them, it was the wave that they remember on a postcard.

A wave they look at crashing onto the beach.

but to others, this wave is disastrous

***

This wave can bring damage to those not looking

turn the confident into insecure

body positive into body shaming

a diamond into a rock

faithful into faithless

***

But when you see that wave

hold tight

pray

“Lord have mercy”
