My love hits the stone wall again and again
Why try at all?
Were we not born to love?
It rages in the end
bashing its saltwater tears
in great waves upon the unresponsive black rocks
of a shore so hostile, nothing will penetrate it
nothing will crumble it, not even in the end of time
Oh, how indifference kills us all.....
Look elsewhere then, flow up the shore
and soak into the sand
which receives so gladly
slurping it up as though there is no end to love
neither there is.
the anger has a purpose now,
soak the sand, leave the rocks
to wish for the soothing
of the salt water waves, they will
no longer come
climate change you know.....
PS I found this writing of 2008 in a book I found this morning looking for other things....like you do!
