Overwhelming it comes in waves
Unforeseen and unsuspecting
Comes crashing into the strong cliff side
The rock that has held strong for centuries
Slowly being eroded away, crashing wave by crashing wave
One tide change at a time
Even the predictability of the tide
Cannot control the force of the crash
The Underlying damage being done…the wear and tear
Soothing sounds that turn deadly as the undercurrent pulls
Down into the depths that appear so blue and clear from the top
The water edge grows closer as the strong stone slowly crumbles
And yet I enjoy the view from the cliff’s edge,
Staring down as the wind blows.
