Sandy shores run to the horizon Cooling waves smash onto dry land Liquid and solid battle eternal one with fluidy grace the other with solid support Roaring defience the sea crashes into the cliff Standing silent the rocky face stands patient Defeated, water recedes, gathers, and smashes Strong, rock stills, waits, and stands Laughing, rock mocks the seas its whispery voice echoing wind traveling through caves Jeering, patience is justified time far behind it and ahead diamonds grinning in sunlight "Why roar at me so? Why fight my supremecy over weakling water? You've crashed ages, drying up, and here I still stand Calm seas, let your life flow by itself Fight me no more" Majestically watching mountains watch over the land Hiding treasures gems glitter from within Gathering together life walks from water Let me be your rock Let me support you with strength Let me be your land Where you have your freedom Let me be your mountain To rise to your full height Let me be your soil So that you can grow with life Let me be your island Where the sea cannot touch you Let me be yours Crying, water gentled, the storm calming its moans like pebbles falling silky like a rumbling purr Sobbing, hissing impatience is heard the spray flying into the air like spurting anger whales, dolphins, waves dancing "Why defy so diligently? Why protect yourself with cowardly silence? You've stood ages, breaking up, and here I still am Dry rock, let yourself go Defend from me no more" Encompassing everything in its reach water caresses, surrounds, swallows Smoothly giggling over rocks thunder erupts from waterfalls Calm pools gathering life is given to dry deserts Let me be your water Let me keep you alive Let me be your stream So that hope continues with you Let me be your waterfall Giving you peace Let me be your pond To give you a moment's rest Let me be your sea Where harsh rock cannot touch you Let me be yours Stretching beyond sight waves rise up in defience rocks shield high in protection Fighting eternally Lasting time Separate elements Let me be your water: accepting fully Let me be your land: offering support Stretching far into the future calm seas break land softens Working together Silently the same You need them both Let me be your water: to give you life Let me be your land: to let you live Like water and land you need them together No matter the battles No matter the differences To live without the other Is to live without life ------------------ "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness" |

Great job on the poem...I liked how you wove in the rock and the water...this is a fab part: Encompassing everything in its reach water caresses, surrounds, swallows Smoothly giggling over rocks thunder erupts from waterfalls Calm pools gathering life is given to dry deserts |
