I Will Not Bend
Clouds dim
Over roughened waters.
Thunder rips
Through raging winds,
But in the midst of chaos
I stand on my island--
A lone rock
Beaten by the gale.
Pride as my staff,
I quiver not
As the rain begins.
Shoulders squared,
Hair tangled,
Silken robes dampened,
I shout into the bedlam.
Calm comes.
Light streaks through,
All lessens to a whisper.
Peace reigns
On softened shores.
Over roughened waters.
Thunder rips
Through raging winds,
But in the midst of chaos
I stand on my island--
A lone rock
Beaten by the gale.
Pride as my staff,
I quiver not
As the rain begins.
Shoulders squared,
Hair tangled,
Silken robes dampened,
I shout into the bedlam.
Calm comes.
Light streaks through,
All lessens to a whisper.
Peace reigns
On softened shores.
