Warren Clyde Poet Rhyme

The Shore

The ocean swells 
To rob the shore, 
A grain of dirt 
Becomes ocean floor. 
Sea-levels rise, 
Land once there 
Is no more. 
Water devours all in its wake, 
Precious land once free 
Becomes clay with each take. 
Water our source for life 
Is our pilgrim claiming 
Land as its wife. 
We cannot stop the tide 
Nor run and hide 
For it is all around 
Like a silent assassin not making a sound.
