Landing On Rocks

She was swift

Fast on the high seas

Next to the rugged shore

Fast on the row

She knew how to take charge

Present, challenge, confront

Signs of strength

Up and down the coast she loved

No matter how many curves or journeys

She was light when there was dark

She was bright when there was calm

She came forth

He set aside

The steps not taken

The hair not brushed

The lip not bitten

She put up the flags

She claimed her ground

Stood tall, stood proud

Of the life’s school

Learned defeat, he did

She smiled a span

It was the aged wood

It never sank

Only floated forever

Until twelve of second
