I am the tsunami

I am made of blue, strong, powerful and icy water
that is pushing all the water.
I live underneath the rushing beautiful waves.
I am amazing because I knock
dozens and dozens of people of their feet.
My family are shells, bright red crabs and huge biting sharks.
I am horrified of calm smooth rushing water.
I dream about breaking every house in my town,
big little strong or weak-I will not care.
Today I am able to knock down two big towns
in one day.
But tomorrow I will sink back in my corner
and sleep with terrifying dreams.
