Day 1: Prompt: Beginning and/or Ending

A Wave, Beginning

There is a wave, beginning
I can hear it from this sand
the sun, blinding in the distance
watches, all it can

The wave, it rises, building
higher and higher it grows
and I am breathing, being
all I can with eyes closed

It is closer now, ready
the water about to break
and I am running, needing
drowning in its wake

Only an echo sounds, softly
and the moon commands this tide
the water pulling from me, feeding
another wave to rise.
