how would you describe the concept of Waves in toki pona?

my ideas so far are phrases with the words sike, tawa, and linja to represent cycles, movement, and a flexible line, but I'm not sure what's the best way to combine them.

• sike tawa linja could be a moving cycle that is of a line
• sike pi tawa linja could be a cycle of the movement of a line
• sike tawa lon linja could be a moving cycle on a line
• tawa sike linja could be cyclic movement of a line
• tawa linja sike could be cyclic movement of a line in a different order

and other word orderings, other pi groupings, and maybe other uses of prepositions.

but I'm a bit worried about how these could be interpreted with alternate meanings of sike with stuff like "ball", and alternate meanings of tawa with its use as a preposition, possibly confounding the meaning. but I also would prefer to have a phrase that doesn't require using a preposition, so that this phrase could be used anywhere in a sentence, and not just at the end where prepositions have to go... what's the best way to do this?
