I stand here nearly swallowed up
Caught in the war of nature verses nature
Displaying power like a prancing peacock
Waves crashing its symbol to be heard
The cliff crowned in grass that dances in splendour
This proud tower weathering its opponent
Demanding its place
Immovable
Staking its claim
Wind rushing to win
Surrounding all that may stand in its way
Fighting to have this place carry my name
Man encroaching on Mother Nature
Sticking a flag in like it means something
Blood flowing like oceans to claim what was never theirs
Wind laughs at my plans
His voice heard in thunder and lightning
Staring at all creation colliding
We will be here long after you.
There is a great melody oozing from your written words.
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece! I love the angle you have approached this deep theme in.
ReplyDeleteI am connecting this to a lyric of mine. If possible, do read it - "My forgotten heroes".
