Waves vs. Cliff
-------------------------------
I stand upon a cliff
So high above the sea
And watch the 'vancing waves
Crash into it 'neath me
-----
Spray does fly and scatter
With a thunderous roar
Brushing gulls that come near
'Fore turning to sea a'more
-----
Waves fall back, retreating
A slight reprieve to take
Then advance to firm cliffs
To try again to shake
-----
I watch with amazement
At the beauty and pow'r
As the waves roll and crash
Repeating hour after hour
-----
The cliff stands firm and strong
Yet let time have its say
The constant crash of waves
Will wash the cliff away
