A Glorious Power

 

Through the mists of dawn

there emerged a huge mass

of perpendicular rock

The defiant face of a blackened cliff 

waves lashed against its immense structure

a formidable onslaught of an effervescent ocean

surged beneath its dormant beauty

 

Each wave was repelled unceasingly

to return to a cauldron below

The rock pools and crevices

accepted the rejection of nature´s hand

Cascades fell into rivulets

channels of water destined to

return to where they had been born

 

The scene was dramatic and violent

filled with majesty and foreboding

A repetitious cycle of nature

in all her glory

in a contest of incredible strength

Nothing could stop or reduce

the power that was being unleashed
