The stones lay like bones by the ocean <br />The waves crash contempt on the land <br />Someone was trembling <br />Somebody reached for their hand <br />Said <br />'If you're cold I'll keep you warm <br />There's so much beauty in a storm come down to the shore and once more, I adore you. What is there to fear? Because the sky is not clear? Listen to the rain upon the rooftop.' <br />The wind picked up <br />Stones stand up like thrones besides the ocean <br />The waves make a grave of the sea <br />Water angrily crawled up onto the beach <br />Said 'Hold my hand, we'll be released.' <br />The tide clung like an anchor to his feet <br />She tried to make the water line recede <br />Break apart the waves <br />Forever wait inside the sea <br />For me <br />I hear you <br />In every curling wave <br />In every violent breeze <br />Someday I swear I'll see you<br /><br />Lora Cooley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fall-down-and-never-get-back-up-again/
