Tempests That Eat Upon Stony Shores

Tempests That Eat Upon Stony Shores There lay hidden- shadows in a great storm tempest that eats upon this stony shore. Night hiding devils wrecking such great harm destroying in our hearts we most adore! Waves crash into massive rocks that so shield playgrounds of ivory sanded beaches. Harsh winds beating the flowers in bright field all are savaged as its darkness reaches! Memories hold that we pray remains safe glow of beauty existing hours before. Fast stormy missiles blast all as they strafe wrecking hell and destruction ever more! Save our souls, we deeply, earnestly pray. Give this gift, so we can see light of day! Robert J.
