Waves crashing on the shore

Something I wrote ages ago and forgot to publish

I stand there, eyes fixed on the heaving blue mass. I am waiting for the big one that comes every few waves. I wonder what the specific pattern is, and I plan to look it up because I have lost count. The big one comes, and I take photos in an unsuccessful attempt to truly capture its majesty. The photos do not. I wish, once again, that I had brought my DSLR. I wait again.
