The Shark Beneath the Waves

I am alone

I’m in the man cave

And I am filled with rage

A younger man

Would let it loose

Like a shark without a cage.

I swelled with inner dialogue

Waves crashing into shore

An older man,

I sat like sand

Not needing any more.

Waves crashing above me

Silent without the air

What is the need, Dear Anger?

There’s nothing here to snare.

I watched the waves for hours

The predator made no peep

I picked that shark up off the sand

That baby was asleep.
