Overwhelming Waves.

A sand crab trickles it's way across the oceans floor,
looking for places of protection to not be washed away by the seas shore.
Hiding away from overwhelming waves that crash on the poor little creature.
Immediately reacting or a second lost may cost him dearly.
Learning from mistakes, he's been washed up within the power of the oceans current,
being twirled around in circles wondering if he'll come out alive,
finally landing on the cool sand with a new view of the sky,
trying to never again be caught up in all one wave may bring.
Strangers come and try to take him away from where he'd rather be,
clawing away trying to not care of what others think or what they see.
While a wave backtracks it's way to where it came,
the sand crab runs farther away due to its born shame.
When will he find his place?
Where will he be when that moment comes?
The sea continues to crash especially at night,
he looks up at the moon for the little time he has until the next wave.
Wondering if one day he can live in peace with no threats in sight,
as he hopes deep within the sand running away every now and then waiting to be saved.
