Listen to poem:
Seashore Resilient Sure
Shores of sand, stones and rocky outcrops
weather willingly the welts of tide, wind and waves.
Eroding away, absorbing, expunging the rage and torrent
A rope-a-dope clinch in the tight, belittling the fight,
Slipping the sand compliant back out again in the breaks
like mundane changes in bed linen.
No fuss, no bother, it's just how it's done.
Rocky headlands and outcrops absorb the force
of raging waves by smashing the energy into foam.
Seaweed loves the push, pull, twists and turns
holding fast resilient, yielding to and fro
No fuss, no bother it's just how it's done.
Oh how I wish I could stand sure like the shore resilient
To absorb the bile and back-lash,
to support you, and stand sure when you need it most.
When your tribulations get deflected onto me
When I can only offer support for you, not a solution.
No fuss, no bother it's just how it's done.
