It was the day after Christmas when Earths mighty shoulders shrugged together to transform time
Lifting a big wave no matter the name shifting weight hidden beneath Indian Ocean
Beaches Asian and African filled with children people relaxing and playing caressed by sun
Too late for too many came the warning cry as waters heavy hands slammed onto balmy white sands
What call of destiny placed that fateful day tens of thousands in harms way
Now tears of anguish flow around our Earthly sphere as loved ones cry for those held dear
Over 100,000 lost many untold taken by eternal sea to final destiny
We ponder and wonder the power of water its beauty, its glory its horror
