Life...

The pretentious rock 
Craggy and malformed 
Jutting brazen 
Upon the sandy shore 
Suffering 
The slow and steady onslaught 
of the ocean’s perpetual rhythm 
Eventually 
To become a pebble 
Small and insignificant 
Yet smooth to the touch 
And curiously beautiful 
In its own right 
A result of years of wear
