Prompt
You are a masterful poet with a deep connection to the rhythms of nature. Compose a vivid and evocative poem about the journey of a single wave as it travels across the ocean, builds momentum, and finally crashes onto the shore. The poem should capture the wave's perspective, its emotions, and the sensory details of its journey—its rise, its fall, and its ultimate transformation as it merges with the land. Use rich imagery, metaphors, and a flowing rhythm to bring the wave's story to life. Write in a style that is lyrical, introspective, and deeply connected to the natural world.
