Serene at the shore
Quaint sense of calm
Mellow staring at the
Elegant row of palm
Not joyful, not pensive
Just a vacuous void
Waves on the offensive
The rocks stay deployed
Time ignores my lapse
Yet goes on to elapse
The tide wants to drown
The rocks won’t back down
Some castles washed
Some in distance stand
Only a matter of time
When all revert to sand
The frenzied waves
Fail to construe
Why castles fall
And rocks accrue
In ignorance they
Pack more punch
The rocks mock
A strong bunch
Through all day
On this goes
The rocks and waves
Exchange umpteen blows
In resignation
The waves recede
Requiring more momentum
To proceed
Lost pride
They want to redeem
Discussions to field
A stronger team
Light now
Losing its sheen
The waves in
Secrecy convene
The tide getting
Ready to push
In darkness a plan
For a final ambush
All night long
The waves now strong
Hitting high and hard
The rocks they maraud
The sun comes up
The waves are awed
To see the rocks
That stand unflawed
