Monolith withstands
the onslaught of the angry
restless grey ocean
Titanic forces
in constant battle follow
cause and effect law
Steel grey clouds rumble
and gather wind strength over
turbulent whitecaps
The gigantic rock
stands aloof testimony
Earth's historic bones
The great sustainer
of all life the good, old Earth
creates rocky shores
Abide elements
tides, deserts, mountains, plateaus
create or destroy
Spirit animates
Nature's balancing act: earth,
air, water and fire
