My heritage travels to the beginning
The great mountain
Our cliffs are high and steep
Each one of us – together – strong
Immovable
Your crash against us
Over and over and over
Relentless attacks never tiring
ebbing and flowing, out then back
Continual
Slowly you wear on the mountain
Never seen – rarely perceived
Find the crack, where is the weakness
You crash so hard against us
Hurting
Inevitability ensues
The mountain grows tired
Grips weaken as time slides
Away I fall
Splashing
Sinking in your dark obscurity
Small jagged stone
Over and over and over
You move across me
Unsettled
Look left, jarred right
Ever moving, never-resting
We travel as strange companions
Where are you taking me
Why me
Sun shines down on me
Out of your depths I emerged
Smooth – polished – refined
Others surround me
Allies
Brothers and sisters traveling before
Heirs of the mountain
Strong as ever together
The platform of our dance
Necessary
We are changed
The sea demands us
never lost, always changing
The mountain’s strength inside
Strong
Small, unique pebble
Stand alongside your kin
Without you there is no sea
No beach path to the mountain
Guiding
