She drives us to the coast
Because the only thing that can stop her now
Is an ocean.
She falls to her knees and
She roars back at the waves,
Screaming an apology, receiving nothing.
And I stand, wrapped in a blanket
And I stand and watch her.
The power of the water is lost on me.
Compared to her nothing is remarkable.
(The ocean shrinks back, the sun bows down)
She knows,
And they know.
