The Unwavering Sentinel

The beam amidst the raging storm Like a glum buffalo of fierceness The seemingly engulfing clouds The furious and pounding waves As if a treacherous leviathan Ever menacing yet perilous Lo and behold, the sentinel Stand still amidst the dicey phase The beam remained unwavering Static and prompt to repress Non-submissive yet resistance Such is a sentinel of vastness
